Elite Integral Gutters

You will 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 Powder Coating

Elites High Quality Powder Coated Options are available in ten attractive colours, including Green, Graphite, Black, White, Brown, Stone, Olive, Berry, Navy and Mocha. This durable, solvent free finish resists corrosion and UV damage, offering a life expectancy of 25+ years.

Elite High Tensile Nuts And Bolts

Elite use High Tensile Nuts And Bolts in their greenhouses to provide superior strength and durability, ensuring the structure remains secure in strong winds and harsh weather. Their enhanced load-bearing capacity reduces the risk of loosening or failure over time, making them ideal for long-term stability and structural integrity.

Elite Bracing

Elite add Extra Corner and Frame Bracing in their greenhouses, enhancing structural stability, especially in exposed or windy locations. It helps prevent twisting, rocking, and frame movement over time, ensuring the greenhouse remains rigid and secure. This added reinforcement increases the overall durability and lifespan of the structure, protecting your investment.

Elite Corner Brackets

For Hard Surfaces! Use the Elite Corner Brackets with some suitable coach bolts or Rawl plugs to fix your greenhouse to concrete, slabs or decking. Included with all Integrated and Optional Base Plinths

Elite Base Corner Spikes

Place on soft ground! Elite Greenhouse Integrated and Optional Base Plinths come with corner posts for installation on soft ground. These 18-inch posts can be sunk into soil and concreted in place for stability. For hard surfaces like slabs or concrete, simply omit the posts and use the supplied brackets to fix to concrete or slabs.

Elite Greenhouses

Elite Greenhouses have been made right here in the UK by the same family-run business for the last 70 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!.

20 Year Elite Warranty

Elite greenhouses come with a 20-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

How to Prepare 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.
