Description

The Elite Thyme 6x6 Glass-to-Ground Greenhouse perfectly balances classic Victorian style and practical modern design. With a width of 6’3” and a length of 6 feet, this freestanding greenhouse provides a compact yet spacious growing environment, ideal for cultivating herbs, flowers, and various vegetables. The elegant glass-to-ground design, featuring 12-inch glazing sections, floods the space with natural light while adding a refined, traditional aesthetic to your garden.

Built with a durable aluminium frame, this greenhouse combines beauty with strength. High-tensile nuts and bolts and integrated strengthening cantilevers ensure structural stability, even in challenging weather conditions. The sliding door with a low-threshold design allows easy access, while the secure door lock provides peace of mind. Integral gutters make rainwater collection simple and eco-friendly, while the diamond shelf offers a convenient surface for organising tools, seedlings, and small pots.

To maintain the perfect growing environment, the Thyme 6x6 includes a roof vent and two 5-blade louvre vents, which promote steady airflow, regulate temperature, and balance humidity. Decorative crestings and finials enhance the Victorian-inspired design, making this greenhouse functional and a beautiful addition to any outdoor space.

Nine powder-coated colours, including soft olive, classic mocha, and bold navy, can be used to customise the greenhouse to suit your garden’s style. The timeless alloy silver finish is also available for a more traditional look.

Proudly manufactured in the UK, the Elite Thyme 6x6 Glass-to-Ground Greenhouse combines elegant design, thoughtful features, and durable craftsmanship. Whether nurturing flowering plants, experimenting with new crops, or growing herbs for the kitchen, this greenhouse offers a practical yet stunning solution for your gardening ambitions.

Bespoke Aluminium Greenhouse Options

You have the flexibility to select bespoke options for this aluminium greenhouse. The options are available for any desired length, offered in unlimited 1ft increments. While the length can be tailored to individual preferences, the width remains fixed. The Elite range offers a variety of sizes, but if none fit your needs perfectly, simply let us know your preferred length, and we can customise it to your specifications. You can add a partition and extra doors to further personalise your growing space, making it even more versatile and tailored to your requirements.

Elite Greenhouse Accessories Options

The Elite Greenhouse also offers a range of recommended optional accessories to enhance its functionality. Upgrading to 4mm Toughened Glass ensures added safety and durability beyond the standard horticultural glass. An automatic roof vent opener can be installed to maintain ideal ventilation with minimal effort, providing convenience and consistency for your plants. Additional Diamond Shelving and Aluminium Diamond Staging offer practical and stylish solutions for maximising your growing area and organising tools or plants. Installing a rainwater collection kit to one of the integral gutters allows you to harvest rainwater efficiently for sustainable watering practices. Bar capping adds a professional finish and improves glass security, making it an excellent addition for those looking for an upgraded polished appearance.

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.

Greenhouse Assembly

Each Elite greenhouse comes with detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. The complexity of assembly varies based on the individual's skill level, but most models can be built over a weekend, depending on your ability, pace, and the number of helpers available. We recommend taking your time during the assembly process, planning each step carefully, and following the instructions closely.

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.
