I have this box and old windows on top. Will it work as a cold frame or any other uses?

I would face both the greenhouse and cold frame South.

The potential greenhouse panels look yellow. I would replace the south facing side with something clear.

Well the back of the green house is facing south so is the box.
What about the roof clear also?

The box with window looks like a perfect cold frame, but the window definitely HAS to face south!

I was reading a greenhouse gardeners companion book by shane smith.
I didn't know the fiberglass isn't suppose to be yellow.
It showed a picture of new and old.
Ill try to repanel the roof and back wall.
Sun still gets threw the panels but now I'm wondering how much I'm losing.
