Description
The Elite High Eave greenhouse is a specialised structure designed to offer an additional 11 inches of growing height within the same width as the Craftsman greenhouse – at 6’3” wide. This enhancement provides various advantages for gardeners and plant enthusiasts. Firstly, the increased height allows for the cultivation of taller plants and crops, making it ideal for vertical gardening practices. With more vertical space available, gardeners can optimise their growing area and potentially increase their yield.
Moreover, the higher door in the High Eave greenhouse facilitates easier access to the interior space, simplifying tasks such as watering, pruning, and harvesting. The improved accessibility can enhance the overall user experience and make gardening more convenient and enjoyable.
The extra space created by the higher eaves results in a more spacious working area within the greenhouse. This expanded area can accommodate practical accessories like hanging rails and grow hooks, providing options for organising plants and tools efficiently. The availability of a larger working space can contribute to a more organised and productive gardening environment.
We have the Elite High Eave 6×4 in Graphite, on demonstration at our premises, available for viewing – please see our opening hours for further details or call 01772 230170.
Base:
The greenhouse features an integral base.
Doors:
The High Eave is supplied with a low threshold single door, with a handle, lock and key.
Glass:
The greenhouse can be fitted with full sheet 4mm toughened safety glass, 3mm horticultural glass or 6mm polycarbonate. We recommend toughened safety glass for any properties with children and/or pets.
Roof Vents & Louvres:
The High Eave is equipped with at least one manual roof vent, the number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft & 6ft long with one roof vent
- 8ft, 10ft & 12ft long with two roof vents
- 14ft & 16ft long with three roof vents
- 18ft & 20ft long with four roof vents
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent openers can also be added to your order. The automated openers will ensure that your vents open and close automatically, depending on the temperature, keeping your plants ventilated appropriately.
Shelving/Staging:
Staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the High Eave, the 5-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf (these are provided as standard with the Package Deal).
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with integral gutters that collect rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection. To maximise the effectiveness of the integral gutters, we offer optional rainwater kits. The standard rainwater kit includes downpipes that connect directly to the integral gutters and collect rainwater into storage tanks or water butts. Also available is the ‘rainwater kit to one gutter’ option, allowing users to funnel rainwater from two separate gutters into a single downpipe, ensuring that both sides of the greenhouse contribute to a centralised storage system/water butt. It is important to note that this system can only be used at the rear of a greenhouse.
Bar Capping:
Bar capping is optional. It provides a stronger hold for the glass against the frame, plus the rubber fin makes for a better water seal and is a way of hiding the clips, providing a neater finish on your greenhouse. Bar capping can not be used on horticultural glass.
Powder Coating:
Greenhouses are supplied in aluminium as standard. However, Elite have a varied range of powder-coated colours to choose from; mocha, brown, graphite, white, olive, green, black, berry, stone and navy.
Cresting & Finials:
Cresting & Finials are used to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. Cresting refers to ornamental ridge tiles or other decorative elements along the ridge of a roof, while finials are decorative ornaments typically found at the gable top. They can also serve as a deterrent against cats and birds. They are provided in aluminium as standard, or can be powder coated to match your greenhouse. Please see ‘Elite Cresting & Finials’ to add to your order.
