About Elite Easygrow Lean-To Greenhouses
The Elite Easygrow lean-to greenhouses are specifically engineered for restricted spaces, with an ultra-compact 2ft 2" width that fits where traditional greenhouses can't. Perfect for narrow side-alleys, balconies, or against garage walls, these British-made structures deliver full greenhouse functionality in spaces previously considered unusable.
Each model features a 6ft internal height, providing ample headroom for tall plants and comfortable working, while the single sliding door and low-threshold entrance ensure easy access without tripping hazards.
Available in lengths from 4ft to 12ft+, you'll find the perfect fit for your available wall in our 2ft Wide Lean-To Greenhouses range. The Easygrow sits within the broader Elite Greenhouses family, backed by 60+ years of UK manufacturing heritage and a 20 Year Elite Warranty. Choose from 10 powder-coated colour finishes to complement your property, and select between 3mm horticultural glass or toughened safety glass for your specific needs.

Choosing Your Elite Easygrow Lean-To
Size selection depends on your available wall space and growing ambitions. The 4ft length suits herb gardens and seedling propagation, while 6ft and 8ft models provide space for tomatoes, cucumbers, and seasonal crops. The 10ft and 12ft versions accommodate serious vegetable growing or year-round cultivation with added Greenhouse Heaters for winter protection.
Glazing choice matters for both safety and performance. Standard 3mm horticultural glass offers 90% light transmission and traditional aesthetics. However, if your lean-to sits beside a pathway or patio—where footballs, garden tools, or accidental knocks are likely—we strongly recommend upgrading to toughened safety glass for five times the impact resistance.
Prices start competitively for the 4ft model with standard glazing, rising for longer lengths or toughened glass options. Professional Greenhouse Installation Service is available UK-wide if you'd prefer expert assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Elite Easygrow designed for?
The Elite Easygrow is designed specifically for restricted spaces where standard greenhouses won't fit. With a compact 2ft 2" width, it is perfect for urban gardens, narrow side-alleys, small courtyards, or balconies with suitable walls.
-
How do I prepare my wall for a 2ft wide lean-to?
You need a flat, vertical wall free from obstructions like drainpipes, vents, or electrical fittings within the greenhouse footprint. The wall must be structurally sound (brick, stone, or rendered block work). You also need a solid, level base extending at least 2ft 3" from the wall. See our How to Build a Greenhouse Base guide for details.
-
What accessories fit inside a 2ft wide greenhouse?
Standard staging won't fit; you need purpose-designed narrow staging that matches the 2ft internal width. Our Greenhouse Staging range includes slim-profile options for compact lean-tos. You can also add auto-vents and lean-to rainwater collection kits.
-
How do I maintain the wall-side of my lean-to?
Check the seal between the greenhouse and wall annually, reapplying silicone sealant if gaps appear to prevent water ingress. Clean the built-in gutter at least twice yearly, as debris buildup can cause overflow against your wall, potentially leading to damp issues.
