Description

Have you always wanted a greenhouse but are concerned you don’t have the space? This problem is all too common with so many people living in urban and suburban areas with small or awkwardly shaped outdoor spaces. It is with this in mind that Elite created the 4 x 4 Elite Comapct Greenhouse, perfect for courtyards, patios, roof terraces and urban living. Every Compact Greenhouse is 4ft 3in wide (1.3m) and is available in lengths as short as 4ft 5in (1.35m). This ensures that owning a space of your own to test your green fingers needn’t exclusively be reserved for those who are blessed with larger gardens. As it is smaller and more affordable than the rest of the Elite range, the Compact also makes a perfect first-time greenhouse. Because every part of their greenhouses and all accessories are manufactured in the UK, you also have the peace of mind when ordering from Elite that spare parts and extras can be easily supplied should you ever need them.

The 4 x 4 Elite Compact Greenhouse does not come with a floor but do have a built-in perimeter base. This gives you excellent flexibility over where you can locate your greenhouse, allowing you to construct it on paving slabs, a concrete foundation or even on grass and soil. For a grass or soil base, however, you will need to include a soft soil support with your purchase. The double doors are lowered into the perimeter base, which means there is a low threshold with no awkward step-over when going in and out of your greenhouse. These doors, usually called “dropped” doors by Elite, are also useful for unhindered wheelchair or wheelbarrow access because they are at ground level.

The double doors are on a sliding track and require only a gentle touch to open. You will seldom see double doors on smaller sizes of greenhouse, so this is a real bonus of purchasing the 4 x 4 Elite Compact. Includes a durable and lockable door catch for extra peace of mind when storing items inside, with two keys provided. The eaves corners are strengthened to give an even sturdier build and the high tensile nuts and bolts used throughout are another indicator of the quality of Elite Greenhouses. The built-in gutters on the Compact not only allow you to set up a water collection system and assist with drainage, but they also add additional strength to the eaves.

Elite 4 x 4 Compact Greenhouses is supplied with one roof vent as standard as having ventilation is essential for successful growing in a greenhouse and maintaining a healthy environment for plants. Proper ventilation is needed for regulating moisture levels and maintaining an internal temperature that will help anything growing inside to thrive. Elite Greenhouses are protected by a 10 year frame guarantee, giving you the confidence that your greenhouse will last.

Why should you choose a greenhouse package? Simply put, you will save an impressive amount of money (up to 50% can be saved on the accessory bundle) when compared to purchasing the accessories separately.
