cold frame

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

This year, I'm finally going to have real raised beds - 8" tall, cedar.  I
was wondering if I couldn't just put a piece of plexiglass over one of them
for my early spring crops - lettuce and spinach mainly.  I'm not so much
interested in getting an earlier start - although that would be nice - as I
am in protecting the seedlings from wind, heavy rain and critters as they
are just emerging.  I tried row cover last year but it beat the poor things
to death.  All of the plans (and the Square foot book) mention that
cold-frames should be sloped.  I know this is the *ideal* way, but would it
work with just a flat top?

Thanks so much for any input!
Kerri
