A New Way to Grow, Inspired by You
Not quite ready for a full greenhouse? The Victory Upright Cold Frame Bench is the perfect in-between solution. Built for gardeners who want to jumpstart the growing season, keep plants cozy through colder months, or simply grow more in limited space, this versatile cold frame bench brings big benefits without taking up much room.
Inspired by You, Born at the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival
At the 2025 Northwest Flower & Garden Festival in Seattle, Charley’s unveiled The Hendrik, our stunning new conservatory-style glass greenhouse that earned us the Best Booth in Show award. But tucked at one end of the booth was something smaller that caught the curiosity of many: a custom covered cedar potting bench display featuring polycarbonate panels from our sister brand, Polycarbonate Store.
Gardeners kept asking, “Can I buy this?” “Do you sell it?” “What if it had doors, could it be a cold frame?” Those questions sparked an idea.
The result is the Victory Upright Cold Frame Bench, a one-of-a-kind Charley’s original inspired by your enthusiasm and designed for real gardeners with real spaces.
Why “Victory”?
The name Victory is a tribute to the Victory Gardens of our mothers and grandmothers: those resilient home plots that helped feed families and communities during times of need. These gardens weren’t just about growing food; they were symbols of resourcefulness, care, and hope.
Today, we’re seeing a powerful resurgence of that same spirit. Whether it’s a small raised bed in the backyard or a few pots on the patio, more people are returning to the simple joy and nourishment of homegrown food. The Victory Upright Cold Frame was designed to support that movement; offering a space-saving, durable, and practical tool for modern growers who believe tending a garden is still an act of empowerment, even if they don’t have the space or aren’t quite ready for a full greenhouse.
What Makes the Victory Upright Cold Frame Special?
Made from beautiful, rot-resistant Western Red Cedar and topped with clear 8mm twinwall polycarbonate, the Victory is part potting bench and part upright cold frame. It’s sized perfectly for patios, decks, small yards, or large balconies.
- Standing height: No more kneeling in the dirt, work comfortably while you tend seedlings and transplants.
- Airflow control: Front doors open to let in fresh air or hold in warmth as needed.
- Roomy interior: Plenty of space for seed trays, herbs, cuttings, and more.
- Durable materials: Western Red Cedar frame, UV-resistant polycarbonate panels, and aluminum panel capping – built to last through all seasons.
- Easy assembly: Ships flat-packed with pre-assembled sections.
A quick tip: Because the Victory is tall and top-heavy, we recommend securing it to a nearby fence or wall with a strap, especially in windy spots or if you have kids or pets nearby.
