Elite Kensington 6 (6ft 4in wide) Greenhouse

Elite Kensington Lean-to 22ft x 6ft

This is probably not the best example of a Kensington 6ft wide lean-to to feature here as the model in the picture isn't a size we sell very often ! More normally we supply Kensingtons which are between 8ft and 12ft in length.

The picture illustrates a number of features which you might not otherwise see ... a central partition which allows for keeping one part of the greenhouse at a different temperature to the other, and a front sliding door rather than an end door.

Shown here in green, it is also available in white, brown, black, terracotta or the basic mill finish aluminium.

Glass choices include toughened safety glass ( our recommendation ), horticultural glass or twin-wall polycarbonate.

Elite Kensington Lean-to 12ft x 8ft

Although this is the 8ft wide version of the Kensington Lean-to it's a useful illustration of the front double door option available with all widths of the Kensington.

5 inch Aluminium base plinth

This base plinth is provided to add strength at ground level and to make installation of the greenhouse easier. It replaces the need to lay foundations and a brick plinth in most situations.

If you choose a coloured framed greenhouse we can provide the base in the appropriate colour to match the framework.

When measuring available height for your lean-to greenhouse please don't forget to allow for the 5" base plinth if purchased. Alternatively you can install the greenhouse on a course of bricks.

Extra vent

Good ventilation is very important in any greenhouse. Our product details will advise you of the number of vents provided as standard with your Elite greenhouse but it's never a bad idea to add a bit of extra ventilation !

Delivery included

Delivery to mainland England and Wales is included in all of our package prices. It's also included in selected areas of Scotland but you need to check with our staff as we occasionally have to make extra arrangements for areas above the central belt which may cost a little extra.

On delivery the greenhouse and staging are contained in the larger cardboard boxes, the accessory items are grouped together and the glass needs a clear length of wall to lean against, preferably in a garage or outbuilding. In this instance it is safely stacked against a sheltered garden wall. Nothing in the boxes will take any harm if it gets wet during storage, with the possible exception of the instructions; after all, the greenhouse is intended to stand outside in all weather !

You will be advised of the delivery date so you can ensure that the delivery driver can gain access to unload the boxes and glass.

D.I.Y ?

Should you choose to install your greenhouse yourself this is what you will find when you unpack the boxes ! The components here are from our smallest greenhouse ( 4ft x 4ft ) but the principle is the same with all sizes. Aluminium components are carefully wrapped and labelled to tell you which section they belong to. All you need to do is follow the instructions on preparing them and assembling them which are also provided. ( Orange booklet in this picture ). All clips, nuts and bolts and rubber glazing beads are provided in the pack too. Glass is delivered at the same time as the greenhouse and stacked where you request.

If you prefer to have your greenhouse installed then please talk to a member of our staff who will be happy to explain the various fitting options available to you.

5 blade louvre window

A five blade louvre window is included with every Kensington as standard, assuring that you can provide low level ventilation to remove stale air from the bottom of your greenhouse when used in conjunction with the roof vents. Toughened safety glass is an essential feature of these louvres. Shown here in green, the louvre can be colour matched to the greenhouse.

Shown here too is the optional automatic louvre opener which uses a hydraulic cylinder to open the blades as the temperature inside rises.
