Matt:

This must be what we call a regional difference. What your pictures show is what we call a hoop house. Your right that we would call it a greenhouse if it has heat and ventilation. A cold frame in our area is only about 18" tall and the heat is regulated by opening the top of it on sunny days. They will give you a 2 to 3 week jump on the start of spring.
