How to choose your Elite High Eave greenhouse

Start with the available length, because every High Eave is 1900mm wide. Lengths are 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 14ft, 16ft, 18ft and 20ft. Only 8x6 is named length x width, meaning 8ft long and 6ft wide. Other sizes, including 6x4, 6x6, 6x10 and 6x12, put the 6ft width first. For more width with the same 5ft 2in eaves, compare the 8ft 4in wide Elite Belmont.

We recommend 3mm toughened safety glass if safety glass is your priority. It is Grade A glass to EN12150. The alternatives are 3mm horticultural glass and 6mm polycarbonate. Read our greenhouse glazing guide before choosing.

Take the package if you want its staging, shelf and automatic ventilation included. It also adds a rainwater downpipe and roof eyelets for tomato strings. Choose the standard greenhouse if you want to select staging separately. Packages start from £929.

The single sliding door has a 600mm x 1910mm opening, a handle and a cam lock with key. The integral low threshold base has no raised sill to step over, and gutters are built in. Silver aluminium is standard, with 10 powder-coated finishes available. These are green, black, brown, grey, white, olive, navy, stone, mocha and berry.
