Product Code: ELI-WIN-6
Description
A Windsor 4ft wide x 6ft lean to is ideal to be located against a shed, garage or fence as it has low ridge height, although this in no way detracts from its usefulness as a greenhouse.
The frame is built from the same high quality rigid aluminium as Elite's traditional greenhouses, it will not warp or rust and is maintenance free. Many manufacturers restrict you to two, maybe three colours but Elite let you choose between silver milled aluminium and five other powder coated colours.
You can also choose the type of glazing you prefer. It can be horticultural, polycarbonate or toughened. The latter is a legal necessity if the lean to is fitted over a doorway.
The single sliding door can be positioned at either gable end. Open it during the summer and it will, in conjunction with the roof vent, encourage a cooling flow of air that plants love.
If you want to re-cycle rainwater, an aluminium gutter is already in place adding strength and also allowing you to install the optional rainwater collection kit. Plants prefer rainwater to what comes out of the tap, so it's really worthwhile. Bar capping comes as standard. It would be wrong to see it as just a decorative feature. With it in place, the glazing is more secure and there is a better water seal between that and the frame.
Elite let you personalise the lean to with an impressive list of accessories, extras that really make it your own. Staging and shelving are necessary if you like to sow seed and propagate plants, while the popular Elite automatic roof vent opener will save you the trouble of opening and closing it each day. This is so useful if you are away from home or on holiday.
A base of some sort is essential. You could construct one yourself from slabs or bricks but it's more convenient to buy an Elite alloy base. The base can also then be colour co-ordinated to match the rest of the lean to.
Please note that the photographs show both standard features that are listed below and optional accessories that can be purchased separately. A Package version is also available with many of the accessories fitted as standard.

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.
