If you mean a plastic toy box, not sure, the way to extend a coldframe is to add another i would have thought. Someone might have an idea or two.

Why don't you try a cloche you can get them from most diy stores,, you can cut a hole at each end so that your tort can get in and out, they are made of strong hard plastic and you secure them to the ground, I think they have spikes on them? priced about £10

hi gys am getting my tortoise sunday
i mean the large 3ft tupperware boxes you get from g&ts
it appears to be the same plasticy perspex stuff
but just wandering if it would absorb and store heat like a Coldframe
and obviously cut a hole in it to attach to the first greenhouse
