How to choose your Elite Streamline greenhouse
For a 5ft wide greenhouse, measure the available space against the Streamline's actual 1590mm width. Size names are width x length, so 5x6 means 5ft wide and 6ft long. Choose your length before glazing or accessories. Every Streamline has 1425mm eaves, a 2122mm ridge and double sliding doors with a 600mm x 1750mm opening.
We recommend 3mm toughened safety glass for gardens with children or pets. It is Grade A glass to EN12150. The alternatives are 3mm horticultural glass and 6mm polycarbonate. The 5x6 polycarbonate model is £1,009.
Choose an Elite Streamline greenhouse package if you want the listed ventilation and fittings included. Packages start from £879. They add automatic roof and louvre ventilation, staging, a high level shelf, a rainwater downpipe and roof eyelets. The 5x6 has one opening roof vent.
Silver aluminium is standard, with 10 powder-coated finishes available. Choose green, black, brown, grey, white, olive, navy, stone, mocha or berry. Every Streamline has built-in gutters and a door handle with a cam lock and key. Check your base dimensions before ordering, or review our greenhouse installation service.
🔧 Matt's installation tip: check the base footprint
When fitting this model, we recommend checking the full base footprint before preparing the ground. The 5x4 needs at least 1590mm x 1351mm, while the 5x6 needs 1590mm x 1971mm. Keep the approach to the 600mm door opening clear. The integral low threshold base has no raised sill to step over.
