Product Code: ELI-CLAS-20
Description
If you're serious about growing an impressive range of plants in a greenhouse that offers a first rate frame and spacious interior, then the largest 12ft wide Classique will be your perfect greenhouse.
High ridge and eaves are features of an aluminium frame that's rust and warp free, sturdy and rigid. A marvellous place in which to work and fulfill your gardening ambitions.
Elite let you choose a powder coated finish in your preferred colour and then you can decide on whether the glazing should be horticultural, toughened or polycarbonate.
And that's only the start, there's a large selection of accessories to choose from and many modification that can be made.
There's already four roof vents and two louvres, these can be upgraded so they automatically open, extremely useful if you are ever away from home. Even though the lockable double doors are 4ft wide, a low threshold might be a good idea to make them wheelchair and wheelbarrow friendly.
Floor matting can be put in place, a fly screen, bar capping, and a rainwater collection kit to name but a few of the optional extras. You can even have crestings and a finial along the ridge of the roof.
In addition to an 8ft extruded shelf that's standard, you will no doubt find extra shelving and staging extremely useful, and there is a wide choice of sizes and types together with many other propagation and growing aids.
If you want a longer length than 20ft this is possible. A walk through partition is supplied as 20ft is the single longest length of the top ridge bar but there is no minimum length. To give a guide price for, as an example, a 34ft long Classique, then add together the buying price for an 18ft and a 16ft Classique and then get in touch for a quotation.

Option 2 > Choose Your Greenhouse Glass
We offer three different types of glazing: 3mm Horticultural Glass which is pre-selected by default, but you can upgrade to single sheet Toughened Glass between 3mm - 4mm thick 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 Polycarbonate Glazing is indicated below.
Please Note: Greenhouse glass images below are for guidance only.
with 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.
Provided in traditional panes which are supported using overlapping clips. This type of glass isn't recommended if you have children or pets around due to the more fragile nature.
with 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.
The thickness of the glass varies, the long roof and side panels are 4mm thick whilst the shapes and smaller rectangles are 3mm thick.
The thickness of the glass varies, the long roof and side panels are 4mm thick whilst the shapes and smaller rectangles are 3mm thick.
with 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing
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. Supplied in a full sheet format and offers a more opaque appearance.
Option 3 > Do I Need a Base?
Yes - in most cases you simply 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. Alternatively, you can build a brick base but you will need to be accurate with your measurements.
Preformed alloy base frame plinths are available in either milled silver aluminium or powder coated to match your chosen frame colour. With the use of a base plinths, optional modification is possible to create a drop door / low threshold area at the door entry, this extends the door lower down to the ground and removes the bulk of the base plinth at this area, so that there is no large step-over. This modification will require a custom quote, so please contact us in advance, or put your order through as a quotation within the checkout stage and we will get back to you with a no-obligation quote.
No Alloy Base Required
Select this option if you intend to build your own Brick Base. Please note that the number of bricks used in the base height will result in a higher step-over into the greenhouse. Overlapping cills demonstrate a need for accuracy when building a brick base.
with Milled SILVER Alloy Base Frame
The perfect match to you milled silver aluminium frame.
with Matching Powder Coated Colour Alloy Base Frame
Colour coated to match your chosen coloured frame.
Option 4 > Bar Capping?
Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips, this gives a far neater streamlined appearance and helps to stop rainwater seeping through the glass seams. It's made from PVC and is UV treated for long term weatherproofing.
Please Note: Bar capping is NOT suitable for use with horticultural glass. It is only suitable for use with single sheet toughened and polycarbonate glazing.
