Description
The Kensington 6ft x 16ft lean to, similar to other Elite greenhouses, is ideal for keen gardeners who want to create a structure that perfectly suits their way of working. With high ridge and eaves, it's a delightful place to spend many days growing plants and sowing seed in an environment that is your design.
This is due to the large range of optional accessories that are available. Choose the options that are most helpful for your particular working methods, and appoint the greenhouse exactly how you prefer.
One of the first choices you'll make is what colour the high quality and very rigid frame should be. There's powder coated finishes in several colours, and these are in addition to silver milled aluminium.
There are many more choices starting with how many and where you want the doors to be positioned. Either or both ends, perhaps double doors along the length of the lean might be useful to maximise accessibility. A partition can always be installed to create separate zones within the greenhouse and the doors can be located appropriately.
Toughened glass is not a choice but a legal requirement if the lean to covers a domestic entrance, if it doesn't you have the alternatives of polycarbonate or horticultural glass. To enhance the greenhouse's appearance and secure the glazing there is bar capping in the same colour as the frame. This also forms a water resistant seal.
The best greenhouses do not get baking hot during the summer. In an Elite lean to this is due to the cooling air circulating from two roof vents and a five blade louvre. More can be fitted and they can be operated automatically, ideal if you ever go on holiday.
With a greenhouse of this size, it's very likely that a large amount of propagating and growing will take place. If so, there's staging and shelving readily available of many different types and sizes in addition to a shelf that comes as standard.
A base of some kind is essential, this can be built from bricks or slabs, or alternatively Elite can supply an alloy base specifically for this range of greenhouses and in the same colour as 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.

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.
See our handy details page here for more information on powder coating options.
-
with Standard Milled SILVER Aluminium Frame (ALU)
Enjoy your new greenhouse frame in the standard, no extra cost, Milled Silver Aluminium. -

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.
-
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.
-
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, 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.
-
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.
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.
