Description

Are you dreaming of a greenhouse but limited on space? Introducing the Elite 4 x 8 Compact Greenhouse, designed specifically for urban and suburban lifestyles. Ideal for courtyards, patios, and rooftop terraces, this greenhouse measures 4 ft 3 in wide (1.3 m) with lengths starting at 4 ft 5 in (1.35 m), making it a practical solution for small outdoor spaces.

More affordable and compact than other models in the Elite range, this greenhouse is perfect for first-time greenhouse owners. Plus, all components are proudly manufactured in the UK, ensuring that spare parts and accessories are readily available whenever you need them. Embrace your gardening passion without the hassle of limited space!

The 4 x 8 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 8 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 8 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.
