Description
The Elite Maxim greenhouse model is specifically designed for urban living spaces, courtyards, patios, and roof terraces. It caters to individuals who are taller or have aspirations of growing taller produce due to its extra high eaves and (double) door height. The design of the Maxim greenhouse provides ample space for staging and shelves, ensuring that even in a small area, one can fully enjoy gardening without limitations. Additionally, package deals are available for this model, making it a highly competitive option in the market for greenhouses of its size.
The Elite Maxim boasts a height of 5’8” at the eaves, providing ample vertical space for taller plants and additional shelving.
Base:
The greenhouse features an integral base as standard.
Doors:
The Elite Maxim is supplied with low threshold double doors, 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 Maxim greenhouse is equipped with at least one manual roof vent, the number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft, 6ft & 8ft long with one roof vent
- 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 Maxim, the 3-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.
