Product Code: ELI-KEN6-10








Both beginners and enthusiastic gardeners will find that the Kensington 6ft 5ins wide x 10ft 5ins long lean to offers them a superb opportunity to fulfil their ambitions.
Beginning with a rigid maintenance free aluminium frame with high ridge and eaves, you can add optional accessories so that the working and growing space that's created meets all you expectations.
Silver milled aluminium is an attractive finish for the frame that won't rust, warp or rot but you may want to choose one of several coloured powder coatings as an alternative.
Accessibility is always crucial and that's why Elite gives you so much choice. A single sliding door may be installed at either gable end and also double doors can be positioned at the front of the greenhouse. This not only affects ease of entry but increases the number of places where the lean to can be located.
Another aspect of greenhouse growing that's addressed is air quality and temperature control. Already in place are a roof vent and louvre, so that cooling air can be drawn in during the summer and circulated to keep humidity under control and prevent over heating. Automatic opening vents can be fitted, relieving you of a job and continuing to operate if you are ever away from home.
This greenhouse is full of alternatives and choices, and one of the most important is glazing. There are three types, horticultural that can be upgraded to toughened and polycarbonate. If the lean to covers an entrance into your house you must choose toughened. To help secure the glazing you may also choose to have bar capping that can be the same colour as the frame.
In such a large space you'll want plenty staging and shelving. Elite give you a choice of different sizes and types including modular and foldaway staging made from aluminium and timber.
Heavy duty aluminium guttering comes with the lean to and to conserve rainwater you can fix a collection kit to it. The water that's collected in a butt can then be recycled.
Finally a base for the greenhouse is essential so that it has a stable foundation. To save you the effort of constructing one yourself it is probably a good idea to buy a preformed alloy base that will fit perfectly.
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.

Select Your Options
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 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, quite simply you 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.
Preformed Alloy Bases are available in either milled silver aluminium or powder coated to match your chosen frame colour. All Elite Supreme Bases come complete with a drop door option which gives a low threshold. Alternatively, you can build a brick base but you will need to be accurate with your measurements.
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.
Option 5 > Where would you like your door positioning?
A Single Door comes as standard and there is the option to upgrage to Double Doors however Double Doors cannot be fitted in the gable ends of a Kensington 4 or 6.
Please select from the options below where you would like your door positioning?
Option 6 > Internal Partition with Single Door?
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 single door. 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 check 1 of the first 3 boxes below. You then add to your initial choice by checking any other appropriate boxes. You may have to check up to 4 check boxes. This is a complex option so please choose carefully!
We will contact to you to determine the final positioning of you partition.
