Select Your Options:

Option 1 >>> Choose your Frame Colour?

Please select from the following six frame colours. Milled Silver aluminium is pre-selected by default. Powder Coated coloured frames are available at the costs shown. All of the six frame options INCLUDE Horticultural Glass. You can upgrade this glass option to Toughened Glass or Twinwall Polycarbonate, if required, at Option 2.

See the foot of this page for the Total Cost of your Kensington 8 as you build it.
A mirrored price is displayed in 'Your Running Total'.

£820.00

Option 2 >>> Choose your Glazing Option?

We offer three different types of glazing. 3mm Horticultural Glass is pre-selected by default but you can upgrade to single sheet Toughened Glass or 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing here.

As Horticultural Glass is included in your frame price it is a NO COST option. The additional cost of Toughened Glass or Polycaronate Glazing is indicated below.

Note: If your Lean To covers a doorway onto your home you MUST upgarde to toughened Glass or Polycarbonate Glazing. It is illegal to cover a doorway with a structure glazed with horticultural glass.

Please select from the options below.
3mm Horticultural Glass
Horticultural 3mm float glass as traditionally used in greenhouses. This is the standard minimum specification and is INCLUDED with your frame choice. There is no additional cost unless you upgrade to Toughened Glass or Polycarbonate Glazing which you can select below. Note: If your Lean To covers a doorway onto your home you MUST upgarde to toughened Glass or Polycarbonate Glazing. It is illegal to cover a doorway with a structure glazed with horticultural glass.
Single Sheet Toughened Glass
Toughened to British Standard Class 6206 Grade A and European Standard EN12150 for maximum light and extra safety. All toughened glass models in this range utilise full sheet glass in the roof and side walls. This makes for a much cleaner line with no build up of moss or algae where the sheets of glass would normally overlap. Full sheet toughened glass is more expensive to produce than 2 or 3 smaller sheets, but we firmly believe it is the better option.
£418.00
6mm Twinwall Polycarbonate Glazing
Offers several very positive properties. As well as the safety element it is a superb insulator, with the air trapped between the inner and outer skin acting as a mini double glazing unit. This will reduce winter heating costs. To aid growing polycarbonate defracts the sun's rays twice as it passes through the twinwall. This effect disperses the light far more evenly around the greenhouse. Opaque in appearance and supplied in full sheet format.
£474.00

Option 3 >>> Do I Need a Base?

Yes, quite simply you do. Greenhouse frames need to lip over a base (or upstand)  which also allows the door to lip under the frame. The base also gives you the required height needed inside your greenhouse. Without a base your greenhouse would be 5ins too low.

However, you do not need to buy a preformed base. You can build it from brick, or even from very substantial timber. In some instances building a smaller base yourself may be advantageous. If you do build your own base you need to be accurate with your measurements.

Preformed Alloy Bases are available in either milled silver aluminium or powder coated to match your chosen frame colour. These bases are the easier option compared to the alternative of building your own brick base.

£73.00

£140.00
NO Alloy Base Required
Select if you intend to build your own brick base. Note you CANNOT simply stand the frame on the ground or concrete, some form of base (or upstand) must be used.

Option 4 >>> What is Bar Capping?

.Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips. This gives a far neater streamlined apperance. It is made from PVC and is UVI treated. It is available in black , green or white. Not suitable for use with horticultural glass. Recommended for use with Single Sheet Toughened Glass. When using with Polycarbonate do not use the rubber glazing gasket.
