🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Autovent Calibration
The most common issue I see with new Automatic Openers isn't the unit itself—it's the setup. Many customers install them on a cold day and forget to chill the cylinder first.
Before fitting, place the wax cylinder in the fridge for 30 minutes. This retracts the piston fully, allowing you to screw it into the housing without cross-threading. Once installed, adjust the knurled knob only when the greenhouse is at your desired opening temperature (usually 15°C).
Choosing Your Greenhouse Accessory
Start with the essentials: staging provides critical airflow around plants, while a thermometer is mandatory for monitoring the 10-15°C temperature swings common in UK gardens. For heating, budget 1,200-1,800 watts for a standard 6x8ft structure to maintain frost-free conditions.
Quick Comparison: Aluminium vs. Wooden Staging
| Feature | Aluminium Staging (Elite/Vitavia) | Wooden Staging |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | 25+ Years (Rot-Free) | 8-12 Years (Requires Treatment) |
| Maintenance | Zero (Wipe Clean) | Annual Preservative Needed |
| Load Bearing | High (50kg+ per slat section) | Medium (Good for pots/trays) |
| Airflow | Excellent (Slatted Design) | Good (Variable gaps) |

Control Temperature
Pair heaters with thermometers and bubble insulation (reduces heat loss by 50%) to maintain 7-10°C for overwintering tender plants.
Automate Your Growing
Install autovents (no electricity needed) and automatic watering systems to reduce daily maintenance by up to 70%.
Maximise Space
Add staging at multiple heights to triple your growing capacity. Folding shelves drop down when not needed, perfect for seasonal crops.
Seasonal Protection
Summer shading reduces interior temperature by 8-12°C, while winter ventilation systems prevent humidity-related diseases.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock Bayliss autovents (made in Derbyshire) and Elite aluminium accessories for one simple reason: reliability. In 15 years of installing greenhouses, I've seen countless cheap imported openers fail after one season. Bayliss units use a superior wax formula that doesn't leak in high summer heat, and Elite's staging uses the same high-tensile aluminium as their Titan greenhouses.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresFrequently Asked Questions
-
What greenhouse accessories do I need to start?
Start with staging (£45-£120), a max-min thermometer (£18-£35), and at least one autovent (£35-£85) for temperature regulation. These three essentials cost £100-£240 and prevent around 80% of common beginner problems including overheating, poor airflow, and inefficient space use. Add ties and hooks (£8-£25) for plant support and you are ready to grow.
-
How much do greenhouse accessories cost?
Basic accessories start from £15 for thermometers and clips, while complete climate control systems (heater, autovents, shading, staging) range from £200-£1,275 depending on greenhouse size. A typical 6x8ft setup costs £350-£450 for staging, heating, and ventilation — approximately 15-20% of the greenhouse cost. We offer free UK delivery on all orders.
-
Do you stock spare parts for older greenhouses?
Yes, we maintain the UK’s largest inventory of greenhouse spare parts including glazing clips, door components, and frame sections for models up to 20 years old. Browse our Elite spares and Vitavia spares sections for brand-specific parts.
-
Which accessories work with my Elite/Vitavia greenhouse?
Each greenhouse model has specific accessory requirements based on frame profile and glazing method. When you select a greenhouse on our site, compatible accessories automatically display, so you will only see staging widths, vent sizes, and spare parts that actually fit your model. For more detail, check our Greenhouse Buyers Guide for compatibility charts.
-
How do I winterise my greenhouse?
Install a heater (electric models are around 85% efficient), add bubble insulation to reduce heat loss by 50%, and ensure vents open regularly to prevent condensation diseases. Position staging to maximise sun exposure — plants near south-facing glass receive up to three times more light in winter months.
-
Can I install greenhouse accessories myself?
Most accessories install in 15-45 minutes with basic tools. Staging clips onto frame bars without drilling, autovents replace existing manual vents using included brackets, and heaters simply plug in. For complete greenhouse setup including staging and shelving, consider our professional installation service.
