[Classes 20 (i) and 20 (iii).] A collapsable garden frame comprises longitudinal side walls 1, 2, Fig. 3, of sheet material and a series of transverse glazing bars 3, the latter being formed at one or both ends with a channel 7 fitting over the upper edge of a wall, and with depending extensions which engage with wall clips 5. In the form shown, the glass panes 10 are supported on bars 13 of inverted T-section which are secured to the glazing bars. Each bar 13 extends beyond the wall 1 and is formed with a flange 28 against which bears the lowermost run of the glazing. The upper glass panes are supported by the lips 26 of plates 25 extending between the glazing bars, and are secured in position by turn-buttons 27. An extension 8 of the bar 3 is secured to the wall 2 by a clip 11 and a screw 12, and may be of sufficient length to project into the ground. The bar 13 may be of rectangular or I-section and the small space between the bars 3, 13 may be filled by a wooden strip 36. In modifications, the channel 7 is attached to the wall 2 by a pin or by the screw 12 alone. In a further modification, the glazing bars are bent as shown in Fig. 6 to form a V-roof and are secured to the walls 1, 2 by pins 12a and screws 9a. The apex of the roof is covered by a capping strip 17 which is secured by bolts 18 and nuts 19. The walls 1, 2 may comprise a number of metal sections having bent-back ends which are interconnected by metal clips of C-section.
