Product Code: ELI-CLAS-4
The Elite Classique 12 x 4 ft Greenhouse boasts an impressive working area despite the 4ft length due to its massive 12ft width and over 8ft height. Add accessories from a long list of options and you are left with a greenhouse that's perfectly suited to your needs.
The Classique range sports the widest greenhouses available from Elite, with this one having the smallest length leaving you with a greenhouse that still has a relatively small footprint, thus fitting into most garden spaces. Entry is granted through almost 4ft wide, sliding double doors for incredibly easy access, with a base available to add which would enable dropped double doors with a low threshold, making entrance even easier, particularly for wheelchair users, wheelbarrows and larger, heavier items.
The frame is constructed using aluminium giving a strong and robust structure that will never rust or warp, bolstered by stainless steel clips and high tensile nuts and bolts and backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind. The frame itself can come in a variety of finishes including powder-coated options, available to choose from below.
Inside you'll find 2 louvres and roof vents that come inclusive with your greenhouse, with automatic vent openers and louvre openers available to add on. You are also able to choose from three glazing options, to have bar capping, cresting or finials and much more.
You may want to add more shelving and staging to the rear shelf that comes as standard, or a rainwater collection kit to fit the integral gutters.
Modifications include dropping the door to create a low threshold or building a dwarf wall.

Select Your Options
Free Accessory Offer
Option 1 > Choose Your Frame Colour
Please select from the following ten frame colours. Milled Silver aluminium is pre-selected by default and is the standard option. However, powder coated frame options are also available at an additional cost.
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.
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.
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.
Option 5 > Cresting and Finials?
Crestings and finials are available in either a standard silver aluminium or any of the powder-coated colours chosen for your greenhouse frame. If required please tick the appropriate checkbox below to match the colour of the finials to your chosen greenhouse colour finish above.
Option 6 > Internal Partition with Double Doors
Would you like an Internal Partition? This option enables you to divide your greenhouse into 2 sections. This is ideal where you wish to create areas or zones for plants with differing needs.
Available in milled silver aluminium or powder coated coloured finish, complete with integral base and double doors. You can also choose to have Bar Capping and all the glazing options are available.
If you choose an Internal Partition you will need to tick 1 of the first 3 boxes below. You then add to your initial choice by ticking any other appropriate boxes. You may have to tick up to 3 check boxes. This is a complex option so please choose carefully!
We will contact to you to determine the final positioning of you partition.

Ventilation is essential for any greenhouse no matter the size to ensure that the humidity and temperature inside provides the best growing experience for your new plants.
Accessories > Staging
Elite's super strength slatted Aluminium or Power-Coated staging can be fitted to any Elite greenhouse through the use of cantilever bracing, which is attached directly onto the greenhouse framework with no visible legs, also keeping clear valuable workspace underneath.
You can have staging down one or both sides of your greenhouse, either to fully fit the sides or just to partially cover.

By adding a shelf or two to your greenhouse, you'll have added workspace areas to store small tools, pots and seedlings. Each set of shelves comes complete with the necessary braces to install them to your Elite greenhouse frame.

Each shelf can be adjusted to any height you require and fit your greenhouse framework with the included diagonal braces.
