What base would be best for my Greenhouse?

For your greenhouse to thrive, it needs a solid foundation. Here are our top picks: Paving Slabs: A classic choice! They're easy to lay and provide excellent drainage. Concrete Base: Want something ultra-sturdy? A concrete base is your go-to option. It's long-lasting and provides a super-level surface. Decking: Yes, you can use decking! Just make sure it's robust and as flat as a pancake. Remember, a great base sets the stage for years of happy gardening. So take your time and get it right - your future plants will thank you!

How is the greenhouse packaged?

The Frame and Base: Imagine long, slim parcels (shoe boxes, but longer) - that's how your greenhouse frame and base will arrive. We pack them snugly in sturdy cardboard boxes to keep everything safe and sound during their journey to you. Now, this depends on what type you've chosen: Ordered horticultural glass? It'll come neatly boxed up. Opted for full pane toughened glass? Each sheet will arrive individually wrapped for extra protection. We take extra care to ensure every piece of your green haven reaches you in perfect condition. It's like a jigsaw puzzle waiting to be put together!

Where will I find the Assembly Instructions?

The instructions will be in the box with your greenhouse frame.

What vehicles do you deliver in?

We bring your greenhouse dreams to life using our trusty Class II 15-ton lorries. Picture a furniture removal van, and you've got the right idea. These big friendly giants ensure your greenhouse arrives safe and sound. But wait! Does your driveway have a tricky turn? Or perhaps a low-hanging tree branch? No worries! If you think there might be any access hiccups, just give us a ring. Our team loves a good problem-solving challenge! ? Call us on 0800 098 8877 for a chat about your delivery needs. We're all ears and ready to find the perfect solution for you.

The 2ft wide 2x12 Elite EasyGrow Lean to greenhouse is perfect for use where height is limited such as bungalows, sheds and garages. The little EasyGrow will fit nicely into a small space on your property allowing you to grow plants year long.

The Elite EasyGrow 2ft x 12ft lean-to is available in a choice of 5 different colour finishes. Pick from a great selection of accessories such as rainwater kits, water butts and staging.

The 6mm twin wall polycarbonate glazing gives awesome insulation as the panels have silvered edges meaning that they are completely sealed. Because they are sealed they will not fog up inside with condensation. Of course polycarbonate is the safest glazing of all and is ideal for family gardens, schools and nurseries where children are running around.

This EasyGrow 2 x 12 has 1 opening roof vent for ventilation, 2 smooth sliding single doors and integral gutters to collect rain water.

670mm (2ft 3") Wide Aluminium Greenhouse - Compact size.
6mm Twin Wall Polycarbonate - Sealed units for insulation and safety.
6ft Ridge height - Low ridge for bungalows and sheds.
Silver Aluminum Frame - Rust and maintenance free.
2 Single Sliding Doors - Easy access to plants.

Optional Installation: If selected, Installation will be carried out 1-8 weeks after the delivery of your Greenhouse. The Installation Team will contact you directly to book in your installation.Our installation service requires a level concrete, slabbed, or decked area to the minimum size stated on the website. Failure to provide a suitable base area may result in you being charged for the failed installation. If you require staging or shelving assembly, you can arrange it directly with the installation team.

Elite Integral Gutters

Youâ€™ll find proper gutters on Elite greenhouses rather than narrow channels. These are more effective at gathering up rainwater for your water butt and less likely to get blocked up with leaves.

Elite Greenhouses have been made right here in the UK by the same family-run business for the last 60 Years. Using some of the strongest Aluminium profiles available, a wide range of Powder Coated Finishes as well as smart touches like Low Threshold Doors, innovative Glazing Bar Capping and Stainless Steel fixings throughout, you'd be hard-pressed to find better greenhouse anywhere!.

10 Year Warranty

Elite greenhouses come with a 10-year warranty on the greenhouse frame. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship. However, it does not cover glass, polycarbonate or Wind Damage. The warranty is only valid if the greenhouse is assembled according to the provided instructions

Greenhouse Buyers Guide 2025

This comprehensive 2025 guide helps you choose the perfect greenhouse by exploring crucial factors from size and materials to optimal location and essential accessories.

Make an informed decision by understanding how to assess your needs, compare material pros and cons, and ensure proper ventilation and positioning for a thriving greenhouse.

How to Prepare the Ground for a Greenhouse Base

A solid base is the backbone of any greenhouse. You might think skipping this step saves time, but trust me—I've seen plenty of greenhouses fail because of poor foundations. A dodgy base causes more headaches than you'd believe.

What happens with a bad base? Glass cracks. Doors jam. The structure twists. Water pools where it shouldn't. And fixing these problems costs way more than doing it right first time.

Placing your greenhouse in the right spot makes all the difference between thriving plants and disappointing results. As a greenhouse specialist who's spent 15 years helping UK gardeners optimise their growing spaces, I've seen first-hand how position affects everything from temperature regulation to plant health.

Let me share what actually works in our unique British climate. The greenhouse position might seem like a minor detail, but it's one of those things that can make or break your growing success. I made this mistake myself when I first started - my poorly positioned greenhouse meant I was fighting an uphill battle with inadequate light and temperature fluctuations.
