(4.3) Based on 1 Review

Description

Design your own bespoke greenhouse, with the Elite Craftsman 6ft 3ins x 16ft 6ins version acting as a base and introducing accessories that reflect your particular requirements.

The rust and warp free aluminium frame is braced and therefore very strong and robust. The greenhouse has an integral base and easy access is afforded by a smooth sliding door with a step free low threshold. Inside you'll be impressed by an exceedingly spacious working area that very airy due to the presence of three roof vents.

The standard frame colour is silver but there's a choice of five others and you can choose from three types of glazing. Decide on the type of staging and shelving that most suits your needs and then you can have as many other accessories as you want. These may include a louvre that, like the roof vent, can open automatically, rain collection kit, and bar capping.

Cresting and a finial are available to enhance the greenhouse's appearance and once complete, the greenhouse will be perfect to fill with thriving plants and produce.

Option 2 > Choose Your Greenhouse Glass

with 3mm Horticultural Glass

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 3mm Single Sheet Toughened Glass

with 3mm 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.
with 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing

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.

Great choice

I initially was interested in this greenhouse because it offered more colours than the usual silver or green, and then I noticed all the options and decided that it was the one for me. Not disappointed with my choice in any way, it looks great and not as hard to put up as you may think.
