Elite Thyme 8 Greenhouse 8 x 14 ft
We are committed to Low Prices.
If you find any of our products on the price promise pages advertised, and in stock and immediately available, at any of our competitors we will endeavour to match the price.
Description
Looking very special raised on a dwarf brick wall, the Elite Thyme 8 8ft x 14ft Greenhouse will still exhibit its own brand of old world charm when freestanding.
It will be a very satisfying and productive addition to your garden, full of choices, options and accessories. A very strong structure whose traditional style merges seamlessly with more modern characteristics.
The rot and rust free aluminium frame has exceptional bracing and an integral base to ensure stability. Powder coating in a number of colours is available to provide a layer of protection to the standard milled silver finish and enhance the greenhouse's appearance.
An extensive growing area will satisfy the most enthusiastic gardeners who will appreciate the sunlight that flows through toughened glass. As an alternative, if you desire better insulation or superior light dispersion, opt for polycarbonate glazing. Both can be secured and sealed with attractive coloured bar capping.
Before admiring the spacious interior, you go through generously sized double doors that slide open. To maximize accessibility they can be fitted at both ends of the greenhouse. The low threshold is a particularly useful feature if you are in a wheelchair or pushing a wheel barrow.
Two louvres and four roof vents will provide enough ventilation to create the cool air flow to control summer temperatures and humidity. You have the opportunity to add more if necessary and fit auto openers to save you the trouble of manual opening each day.
A diamond shelf is in place but there is much more available of different types and sizes. Other options and accessories will help in many ways, for example the collection kit to recycle rainwater from integral gutters, heaters for over wintering plants and decorative items such as crestings for the roof.

Option 2 > Choose Your Greenhouse Glass
We offer two different types of glazing: 3mm single sheet Toughened Glass or 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing.
Please Note: Greenhouse glass images below are for guidance only.
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
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 > 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.
with Green Bar Capping
with Black Bar Capping
with Graphite Bar Capping
with Brown Bar Capping
with White Bar Capping
with Olive Bar Capping
