mikell, Howdy;

Here in New Mexico, the Southern part, temps rarely go below 10 deg.
The owners put plant pots (flimsey plastic), over to top (the risers are maybe 6 - 8 inches tall), and filled them with dirt.

Now, in Central Utah, where it can get down to - somethings and stick there for awhile. The risers are about 18 -20 inches tall, the owners place 24" pieces of 10" or 12" ID PVC pipe over the risers and fill with spun fiberglass insulation (think pink), then put a heavy rubber bucket over the top.

Just what I've seen. Each works for it's own enviroment....
