About the elite belmont greenhouse starter kit range
The Elite Belmont Greenhouse Starter Kit is the definitive semi-professional package for gardeners requiring maximum growing volume. At 8ft 5” wide, it features an impressive 8ft 1” ridge height and double doors, providing the space needed for large-scale production and effortless access. This British-made bundle removes the complexity of outfitting a large structure by including heavy-duty 7-slat staging, shelving, automatic roof and louvre ventilation, and rainwater kits as standard. Engineered in Bolton, it utilizes an integrated low-threshold base for a trip-free, professional-grade environment.
Why We Chose This Range
“We curating the Elite Belmont Starter Kit specifically for the serious grower. While 6ft models are the UK standard, the 8ft width of the Belmont is a game-changer for workflow, it's the narrowest width that comfortably supports double-sided heavy-duty staging. We chose this bundle because it includes the 7-slat staging as standard; at this width, you need that extra depth and reinforced strength for large-scale seed tray management. It’s the best value 'big' greenhouse package we’ve ever offered.”

Matt's installation tip: the 8ft foundation check
At 8ft 5" wide, the Belmont has a much larger 'footprint' than standard models. This means ground heave and base levels are critical. If your base is out of level by more than 5mm across that 8ft span, the 6ft 3" high double doors will not meet correctly in the middle and the lock will bind.
I always recommend a 100mm concrete pad for the Belmont rather than just paving slabs. If you do use slabs, they must be on a full mortar bed. Importantly, when fitting the Automatic Louvre Opener included in this kit, ensure the louvre is positioned on the side facing the prevailing wind to ensure maximum draw of cool air across your 7-slat staging.
