Base Options
Selecting the right base when installing your Elite Greenhouse is crucial for stability and long-term use. One of the most popular methods is to create a level, flagged area. Making the slabbed surface slightly larger than the greenhouse dimensions is recommended, as the listed measurements are nominal, and the actual structure may be a few inches larger. Refer to the metric measurements on the specifications table to ensure you make the base the right size. For instance, for an 8’x6’ greenhouse, a slab area of 10’x8’ is ideal, allowing space for positioning water barrels and providing access for cleaning and maintenance.
If you are constructing your greenhouse on soft ground, such as soil or grass, solid support under the door cill is essential to prevent damage from repeated use. This can be achieved by placing flags under the cill or using Elite’s soft soil support, ensuring the door(s) run smoothly on the track. Whether installed on a hard or soft surface, Elite provides options to securely anchor the base, ensuring a stable foundation.
NOTE: If you are situating your greenhouse on a brick wall the brick base must be exact. The integral base will not be required. Please use our 'Contact Us' form to inquire about the correct base size.

Aluminium Greenhouse Maintenance
Maintenance and care are essential for prolonging the lifespan of your Elite Greenhouse. The upkeep is simple but can ensure your greenhouse serves you for many years, even decades. Cleaning your greenhouse is crucial in enhancing the plant-growing environment by eliminating algae, moss, and grime. It allows more light in and also helps in managing pests and diseases. To maintain your greenhouse effectively, start by temporarily relocating your plants. Use a brush to clean tabletops, remove cobwebs from corners, and eliminate floor debris. Ensuring clean windows inside and outside is vital for maximising light levels. You can clean the glass, aluminium, and plastic surfaces with a microfibre cloth, using hot, soapy water or a commercial greenhouse cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
