Elite Craftsman 6 x 8 ft Greenhouse

Product Code: ELI-CRA-8

(4.7) Based on 2 Reviews

Description

Here's an exciting opportunity to create a flourishing growing area to your own requirements, using a selection of accessories to specify a Craftsman 6ft 3ins x 8ft 5ins greenhouse.

You'll start with a strong, braced aluminium frame that will not warp or rust. It has an integral base and the single sliding door will slide open very smoothly. The threshold is step free and two roof vents are also standard.

Start by choosing one of six colours for the frame, then what type of glazing you desire. Then there's an impressive selection of accessories to really personalize the greenhouse as your own. There is a variety of staging and shelving to choose from, different lengths and widths, and you can add a louvre if required. Perhaps you would also like a rainwater collection kit.

A finial and crestings can decorate the greenhouse ridge while bar capping will secure the glazing. These are just some of the alternatives so it's not wrong to say that with Elite you can design a greenhouse that is very much bespoke.

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.

Colours available are: Green, White, Black, Graphite, Brown, Berry, Olive, Stone, Mocha or Navy. Please let us know your colour choice in the Notes section during checkout. If you have chosen a powder-coated colour for your greenhouse frame, then the hybrid panels will be colour matched to that colour unless otherwise stated.

Excellent product

I received my Elite greenhouse well within the specified delivery lead time. It took a couple of days to assemble and glaze during which time I had questions about the assembly process. On phoning Elite, I got straight through to someone who knew how to help, even on a Saturday afternoon. I was pleased that there were 2 spare panes of glass as I broke the very first one that I installed.
