Description
Elite Belmont Greenhouse
The Elite Belmont greenhouse is a highly sought-after model known for its classic design, functional features, spacious interior and range of accessories that cater to the needs of gardening enthusiasts. Its popularity stems from various factors, including its ability to create a well-ventilated and spacious environment conducive to plant growth.
One of the key selling points of the Elite Belmont is its generous interior space, which provides ample room for plants to thrive. This spacious layout allows for flexibility in organising the greenhouse and accommodating different types of plant species effectively.
The Belmont is available in unlimited lengths.
Base:
The greenhouse features an aluminium integral base, which is part of the framework giving additional strength. Elite Greenhouses only supply bases made from aluminium, therefore removing the fear of rust, rot or warping.
The majority of greenhouses are constructed onto a solid foundation however if your greenhouse is being constructed onto soil or grass, persistent stepping on the door cill will cause damage as it will naturally follow the contour of the ground. A hard support, such as flags, must be fitted under the cill and Elite recommend using their soft soil support which allows the door(s) to run in the track.
The greenhouse can also be modified for a dwarf wall, contact us for details.
Doors:
The Belmont is supplied with a low threshold single door as standard. This can be upgraded to a double door, if you choose, at an additional cost. The double door is supplied as standard on the Belmont Package Deal.
Glass:
This greenhouse is supplied with 3mm horticultural glass as standard, with the option to upgrade to 4mm full-sheet toughened safety glass or 6mm polycarbonate. For homes with children or pets, we strongly recommend choosing toughened safety glass for added peace of mind.

Roof Vents & Louvres:
The Belmont greenhouse has a minimum of one roof vent. The number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft & 6ft long with one roof vent
- 8ft, 10ft & 12ft long with two roof vents
- 14ft long with three roof vents
- 16ft long with four roof vents
- 18ft long with five roof vents
- 20ft long with six roof vents
Louvres can be added at an additional cost (these are supplied as standard with the Package Deal).
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent openers can also be added to your order. The automated openers will ensure that your vents open and close automatically, depending on the temperature, keeping your plants ventilated appropriately.
Shelving/Staging:
Staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the Belmont, the 7-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf (these are provided as standard with the Package Deal).
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with integral gutters that collect rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection. To maximise the effectiveness of the integral gutters, we offer optional rainwater kits. The standard rainwater kit includes downpipes that connect directly to the integral gutters and collect rainwater into storage tanks or water butts. Also available is the ‘rainwater kit to one gutter‘ option, allowing users to funnel rainwater from two separate gutters into a single downpipe, ensuring that both sides of the greenhouse contribute to a centralised storage system/water butt. It is important to note that this system can only be used at the rear of a greenhouse.
Bar Capping:
Bar capping is optional. It provides a stronger hold for the glass against the frame, plus the rubber fin makes for a better water seal and is a way of hiding the clips, providing a neater finish on your greenhouse. Bar capping can not be used on horticultural glass.
Powder Coating:
Greenhouses are supplied in aluminium as standard. However, Elite have a varied range of powder-coated colours to choose from; “Mocha”, “Brown”, “Graphite”, “White”, “Olive”, “Green”, “Black”, “Berry”, “Stone”, “Linen”, “Willow” and “Navy”, at an additional cost. See the Powder Coating Tab for further information.
Cresting & Finials:
Cresting & Finials can be added to the Elite Belmont greenhouse and are used to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. Cresting refers to ornamental ridge tiles or other decorative elements along the ridge of a roof, while finials are decorative ornaments typically found at the gable top. They can also serve as a deterrent against cats and birds. They are provided in aluminium as standard, or can be powder coated to match your greenhouse.
