A tremendous enhancement for your garden, The Elite Thyme 6 6ft x 12ft Greenhouse is also a bountiful place to cultivate many different plants.
Looking equally as appealing on a dwarf wall or freestanding, the sturdy rot and rust proof frame is maintenance free. A protective powder coating can be applied in a colour that complements both the structure and its surroundings.
The interior is both spacious and filled with brightness from toughened glass that has very good light transmission or polycarbonate which is more opaque but disperses light more evenly and is a better insulator. Colour bar capping can be fitted to seal and secure the glazing.
Wheel barrows and wheelchairs will find access easy through double doors that have such a low threshold and a support plate. Extra sliding doors can be fitted at the far end if required to maximize accessibility.
Optimum growing conditions owe much to effective ventilation that controls temperature and humidity, that's why this well appointed greenhouse has two roof vents and two five blade louvres. There is an option to introduce more and add automatic openers if necessary.
Although there is already a diamond shelf fitted at the rear, more staging is available along with many more accessories including heaters, water butts, a collection kit to recycle rainwater and attractive roof cresting.

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 two different types of glazing: single sheet Toughened Glass or 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing.
Please Note: Greenhouse glass images below are for guidance only.
Option 3 > Bar Capping?
Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips, this gives a far neater streamlined appearance and helps to stop rainwater seeping through the glass seams. It's made from PVC and is UV treated for long term weatherproofing.
Option 4 > Additional Rear Double Doors?
Having double doors at the rear of your Greenhouse is very convenient because you will be able to gain access from both ends and walk straight through your Greenhouse with ease.
Option 5 > Cambered Door Sill and Support Plate
Option 6 > Delivery Options
Standard Delivery within Mainland England, Wales and Mainland Scotland is inclusive. Although, we can still deliver to northern and remote parts of Scotland as well as Northern and the Republic of Ireland at an additional cost, as per these delivery options.

Option 7 > Discuss with an Elite Technician
Option 8 > Dwarf Wall Modification
If you intend on situating your greenhouse onto a Dwarf wall, then please select this option and we will arrange this for you depending on your planned wall specification.
The charge for a customised dwarf wall modification is an ADDITIONAL 40%. We will confirm this price by e-mail to you and we will contact you to determine the exact height you require.

Accessories > Ventilation?
Ventilation is essential for any greenhouse no matter the size to ensure that the humidity and temperature inside provides the best growing experience for your new plants.
Accessories > Staging?
These 6ft long aluminium and 4ft wooden staging units allow extra workspace along the sides of your greenhouse.
Purchase two sets of aluminium staging to fit across one side, or four sets to fit across both sides of your greenhouse.
Alternatively, why not go with the more traditional wooden staging, which you will need to purchase 3 sets to fill one side inside your greenhouse, or 6 sets to fill both sides.
Accessories > Shelving?
By adding a shelf or two to your greenhouse, you'll have added workspace areas to store small tools, pots and seedlings. Each set of shelves comes complete with the necessary braces to install them to your Elite greenhouse frame.
You may decide to purchase two sets of 6ft staging to fit one full length (12ft) inside your greenhouse, or alternatively purchase four sets of 6ft shelves to fit along both sides of your greenhouse.
