Product Code: ELI-KEN4-14
Description
Well appointed and manufactured to a very high standard, the Kensington 4ft wide x 14ft lean to greenhouse offers great potential for enthusiastic gardeners who want to create their own bespoke structure.
You won't get a better start than the rigid, warp and rust free frame, that has high tensile fixings and a heavy duty gutter for strength and durability. The frame can be silver milled aluminium or powder coated with one of several colours.
With access being so important, you'll be pleased to learn that a single door can be fitted to either end of the lean to, or in fact on the front where they can be doubled up to enable even easier to gain entry.
A flow of cool air throughout the summer is important to reduce humidity and regulate temperatures. That's why there's two roof vents and a louvre already installed. You can fit more if required, it's your choice. As is the decision whether or not automatic openers are needed, these are particularly useful if you spend time away from home.
The choice of glazing is fairly straightforward. Toughened is obligatory if the lean to is located over a household entrance, otherwise the alternatives are polycarbonate or horticultural. Whether or not you fit bar capping is completely up to you, it looks very attractive, forms a water resistant seal and helps secure the glazing.
Shelving and staging is an important consideration. There's so much space to grow plants you'll need more than the standard extruded shelf and there's an enormous choice of widths, lengths and types.
A very popular accessory is the rainwater collection kit which is fitted to the gutter. Rainwater can then be stored in a butt and used when required instead of mains water.
Building a base from bricks or slabs is hard work, but a base is essential so perhaps the best idea is to purchase an Elite alloy base that can also be colour co-ordinated with the frame.
Please note that the photographs illustrate various Kensington greenhouses and show both standard features that are listed below and optional accessories that can be purchased separately.

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. It's made from PVC and is UVI treated.
Please Note: Bar Capping is NOT suitable for use with horticultural glass. But is recommended for use with single sheet toughened and polycarbonate glazing.
