Default Building a cold frame

On the building side would I need to add plastiser to the mortar
and use a DPC?


Concrete floor is probably a bit OTT. I would just use a separation
membrane with some sort of gravel on top.


The DPC seems a bit OTT as well for a cold frame, unless as has
already been pointed out, the structure would bridge the DPC of
another. Not sure I like the idea of vertical DPC though, I think that
could trap moisture that ran down the wall. Best to leave a gap of at
least a bricks width IMHO.
