Description
If you ever wanted your own bespoke greenhouse, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Elite provide a first class frame and you can equip it with all the accessories you've ever wanted.
The Windsor 4ft x 18ft Lean To is a very slim greenhouse with a low ridge, so it can be located in many different places, not only against the house but perhaps next to a shed or fence. Its length provides plenty of space and you can really make it into your own ideal working area.
Although there is already a single door that can be fitted at either end, another can be installed. They can also be adjusted to create a low threshold making them very easy to access.
Glazing is a matter for personal choice, horticultural glass can be upgraded to polycarbonate or toughened, the latter is obligatory if the lean to is positioned over a doorway into the house. Clips fix the glazing into place but you can use coloured bar capping for a neater appearance.
And don't think you are limited to the usual green or silver frame, it can be powder coated in a number of colours. The frame itself is rigid aluminium, so will not rust or warp and is maintenance free.
Placing the greenhouse directly onto grass or soil isn't possible, so you'll need a base. You may choose to build one yourself, or perhaps more preferable is fitting a Elite base that is made from alloy and can be colour co-ordinated.
As they have been building greenhouses for a very long time, Elite realise the importance of effective air circulation. That's why a roof vent is fitted as standard. A louvre would also be ideal, drawing in cool air from outside. Both can be fitted with automatic openers, so operate without any bother.
Most gardeners are very used to re-cycling, the obvious example is compost. However with a rainwater collection kit you can reuse this resource after the water is collected in a butt.
If you are purchasing such an imposing greenhouse as this one, you'll no doubt propagate and grow many different plants. You'll therefore enjoy choosing from the wide range or shelving and staging offered by Elite. There's quite a selection and will meet your every need.
Please note that the photographs illustrate various sized Windsor 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 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.
