Elite GX600 Greenhouse

IMPORTANT:

The Elite GX600 is available for purchase in-store, for collection, or for delivery within a 30-mile radius of our premises only (PR3 6SJ). We apologise to customers outside this area who are interested in the product – unfortunately, as an Elite ‘Garden Centre Exclusive’ model, delivery restrictions apply.  

The Elite GX600 greenhouse is a top-of-the-line model that offers a range of impressive features designed to enhance greenhouse growing.  The standard features of this greenhouse ensures it is a popular choice for serious growers who want it all!  The GX model is available in 6ft wide and 8ft wide (GX800).  The GX range include Titan bars at the gable and door ends, as well as cantilevers, so are immensely strong.

A huge, airy and practical working space is achieved thanks to extra height double doors, extra high eaves, double roof vents and two side louvres, along with full length hanging basket rails and a diamond 6ft shelf.

Base:
Built with flat cills, no integral base is required on the GX Collection.  A hard standing, level, base is still required.

Doors:
The GX600 is supplied with low threshold double doors, with a handle, lock and key.

Glass:
The greenhouse is equipped with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard.

Roof Vents & Louvres:
The GX600 greenhouse is equipped with at least one double roof vent and two 5-blade louvres, the number increases with the size of greenhouse:

• 4ft & 6ft long with one double roof vent
• 8ft, 10ft & 12ft long with two double roof vents
• 14ft & 16ft long with four double roof vents
• 18ft & 20ft long with six double roof vents

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:
A 6ft Diamond shelf is included as standard with the GX600, usually sitting across the back of the greenhouse.  Additional staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes.  For the GX600, the 5-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:
The GX600 greenhouse is supplied with bar capping as a standard feature. This system provides a stronger, more secure hold for the glass and includes a rubber fin that enhances the water seal while neatly concealing the glazing clips for a cleaner, more refined finish.

Bar capping is supplied in black as standard with aluminium models. For powder-coated greenhouses, the bar capping is colour-matched to the frame.  If you would prefer an alternative colour, please specify your choice in the order notes.

Cantilevers
Cantilevers are supplied as standard with the GX600 greenhouse.  They are used as eave and/or ridge bracing.  They add strength to greenhouse framework by providing additional support and rigidity. The cantilevers distribute the weight and pressure more evenly across the framework, which can be useful in areas with high wind or snow loads.

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 and navy at an additional cost.  See the Powder Coating Tab for further information.

Cresting & Finials:
Cresting & Finials can be added to the Elite GX600 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.

Hanging Basket Rail:
A hanging basket rail is an additional accessory included as standard with the GX range of greenhouses and runs along the length of the greenhouse.  The rails allow you to hang baskets from the frame of the greenhouse, freeing up staging or floor area space for other uses.
