Product Code: ELI-COM-18
Although just 4ft wide, the 18ft Elite Compact Greenhouse is designed to allow you to create an extremely productive environment with many standard features and an extensive list of accessories.
Powder coated in one of ten different colours, the maintenance free aluminium frame is very strong with an integral base, and its rigidity owes much high tensile bolts and robust eaves that are fitted with corner bars.
Entering the greenhouse through lockable double doors that slide open, you'll discover a superb growing space full of possibilities. Even if you are in a wheelchair or are carrying a heavy load, access is simple over a low threshold.
More doors can be added at the other end to maximize accessibility, when open this will also increase the ventilation that is so necessary during hot weather. This shouldn't however be a problem with four roof vents with the opportunity to add more.
Louvres can also be fitted and automatic openers will save you time and trouble each day, they are also particularly useful if you are away from home when they will prevent the greenhouse from overheating.
Staging and shelving are essential for an enthusiastic gardener and Elite offer an extensive choice both metal and pine. They are available in a large variety of lengths and widths, slatted and braced to suit individual requirements.
You'll find so many ways to personalize your greenhouse, fitting a butt and rainwater collection kit might be one idea but there's such an impressive range of options that you will quickly have a wonderful growing space.

Option 3 > Bar Capping?
Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips, this gives a far neater streamlined appearance. It's made from PVC and is UVI treated.
For a more detailed explanation of what bar capping is, see our handy Bar Capping Guide here.
Please Note: Bar Capping is NOT suitable for use with horticultural glass. But is recommended for use with single sheet toughened and polycarbonate glazing.
Option 4 > Cresting and Finials?
Crestings and Finials are available in either a standard silver milled aluminium or any of powder coated colours depending on your chosen greenhouse frame above.
If required please tick the appropriate check box below to match the colour of the finials to your chosen greenhouse colour finish above.
Option 5 > Additional Rear Double Doors?
Having double doors at the rear of your Greenhouse is very convenient because you will be able to gain access from both ends and walk straight through your Greenhouse with ease.
Please select from the following rear double door options, you can also choose to have Bar Capping.
Option 6 > Cambered Door Sill and Support Plate
Should your greenhouse be built on compacted soil or grass we would recommend using the Cambered Door Cill with Support Plate over and under the bottom door rail as this will help spread the load and stops the rail sinking overtime.
Alternatively, wheelchairs and wheelbarrows will be able to access the greenhouse with the minimum of fuss over the low beam when using this ramp cill and support.
