Hi Tara, thanks for your question! My frames in this pic were 12 inches in the front and 18 inches in the back. And I sunk them down into the ground by about 6 inches to boost insulation. Cold frame gardening is such fun, I hope you enjoy a bumper crop of veggies. - Niki]]> In reply to TL.

Thx for your input!

My question is: How tall are your cold frames (above ground) at the front??

I’m in zone 6a, and was planning on constructing a cold frame 12″ tall at the front and 18″ at the back. But from your pictures, it appears yours are shorter than that. I plan on growing kale, beets, radish, carrot, lettuce in the cold frame.
Hope you can point me in the right direction! TIA, and Happy Thanksgiving!!
