About our elite zenith greenhouses
The Elite Zenith combines Victorian elegance with modern engineering. It is an 8ft wide greenhouse with a dramatic 45-degree roof pitch that creates a 7ft 10in ridge height, offering 25% more growing volume than standard 8ft models like the Elite Belmont. The steep roof is not just for looks. It creates superior air circulation and temperature stability for serious growers.
Every Zenith is supplied with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard, an integral low threshold base, double sliding doors with security locks, 2 automatic roof vents, and a louvre side vent. Choose from 11 powder-coated colours. Models range from the compact Zenith 6x8 to the expansive Zenith 18x8. For the same 8ft width with the Titan heavy-duty frame, see the Elite Titan 800.
Why We Chose This Range
"We stock the Zenith for growers who want maximum internal volume without the Titan price tag. If you love the size of the heavy-duty Titan 800 but your garden is not in a gale-force wind zone, the Zenith is the answer. It gives you the exact same 8ft width and high eaves, meaning you get the same high-shelf storage capacity and airy feeling, just built on the lighter, more affordable standard Elite frame."

The high-volume advantage
The steep 45-degree roof pitch creates exceptional vertical space. You can grow indeterminate tomato varieties that reach 6-7ft without restriction. The increased air volume also improves temperature regulation, the greenhouse heats more slowly in summer and holds warmth longer in winter compared to standard ridge designs.
High-level shelving
The 5ft 2in eaves height allows you to install high-level shelving above your staging benches. This doubles your growing space without taking up floor area. Standard-eave greenhouses cannot accommodate this layout.
11 Colour Options
Unlike most greenhouse ranges limited to green or silver, the Zenith is available in 11 powder-coated finishes. Match your greenhouse to your garden scheme. The powder coating provides long-lasting colour that will not fade or peel.
Premium Specification
Every Zenith includes 4mm toughened safety glass, double sliding doors, 2 auto roof vents, louvre vent, integral low threshold base, and built-in guttering. The 20-year warranty covers the aluminium framework.

💡 Quick Guide: The 9x8 is the ideal Zenith for most gardens. It provides 72 sq ft with staging on both sides, plus the tall ridge allows a high shelf above each bench. The 6x8 is perfect if space is tight but you still want that dramatic high-roof look.
🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Wind Exposure
The Zenith has a large surface area due to its high eaves and 8ft width. This captures more wind than standard greenhouses. When we fit the Zenith, we always check the site exposure before recommending glazing retention.
If your garden is exposed, standard wire clips might struggle in high winds. We recommend adding Bar Capping, a continuous rubber strip that locks the tall glass panes to the frame far more securely than clips. It also gives a neater finish and improves draft-proofing. Read our full base preparation guide here.
The Elite Zenith range starts from £2,459 for the 6x8. All five models include 4mm toughened safety glass, double sliding doors, automatic roof vents, louvre vent, integral base, and a 20-year warranty. Free UK delivery included. Our professional installation service is available nationwide. If you need a 6ft wide high-eave model, see the Elite High Eave.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the Zenith differ from the Belmont?
Both are 8ft wide, but the Zenith has taller eaves and a steeper roof. The Belmont has standard 4ft 3in eaves, while the Zenith has 5ft 2in eaves. The Zenith's 45-degree roof pitch creates a 7ft 10in ridge, giving 25% more internal volume. Choose the Zenith for tall crops and high-level shelving.
-
Is the Zenith as strong as the Elite Titan 800?
No, the Titan 800 uses a heavier box-section frame for extreme weather. The Zenith uses the standard Elite high-tensile bar profile. It handles most UK garden conditions well, especially with Bar Capping. For cliff-edge or hilltop sites, the Titan 800 is the better choice.
-
Can I add double doors to the Zenith?
Double sliding doors come as standard on all Zenith models. The 8ft width makes double doors practical and useful. They allow easy access for wheelbarrows, large pots, and wheelchair users without bumping the frame sides.
-
What glazing does the Zenith use?
All Zenith models include 4mm toughened safety glass as standard. There is no horticultural glass option. The large pane sizes on the Zenith require toughened glass for safety and structural integrity. Toughened glass shatters into small cubes rather than sharp shards.
-
Does the Zenith include a base?
Yes, the integral low threshold base is included as standard. This is built into the frame, not a separate steel hoop. It provides a trip-free entry and eliminates the need for a separate base plinth. You just need a level perimeter foundation of concrete, paving slabs, or pressure-treated timber.
-
How many colours is the Zenith available in?
The Zenith is available in 11 powder-coated colour options. This is more than most greenhouse ranges offer. Colours include classic green, silver, and black, plus more distinctive options. The powder coating is baked on and will not fade or peel for the life of the 20-year warranty. Browse the full Elite range for details.
