Description
The Elite Craftsman Package Deal is a comprehensive offering, which includes additional products such as shelving and staging, automatic ventilation and other related products. The centrepiece of the package is the Craftsman greenhouse itself – however, the packages also include everything necessary to start growing and work out cheaper than buying the products separately.
The Elite Craftsman greenhouse is a popular choice among serious growers due to its size and versatility. Standing at 6’3” wide, it strikes a balance between providing ample storage space while still offering a generous workable area. This particular size has garnered favouritism among growers for its practicality and functionality.
The 6’3” width of the Elite Craftsman greenhouse provides excellent storage capacity without compromising on the usable working area. This allows growers to efficiently organise their tools, equipment, and plants within the greenhouse.
The versatility of the Elite Craftsman greenhouse makes it suitable for various types of plants and growing techniques. Whether you are cultivating delicate flowers, robust vegetables, or exotic herbs, this greenhouse can accommodate a wide range of gardening needs.
We have the Elite Craftsman 6×6 in aluminium, on demonstration at our premises, available for viewing – please see our opening hours for further details or call 01772 230170.
Base:
The greenhouse features an integral base.
Doors:
The Craftsman is supplied with a low threshold sliding door, with a handle, lock and key.
Glass:
The greenhouse can be fitted with full sheet 4mm toughened safety glass, 3mm horticultural glass or 6mm polycarbonate. We recommend toughened safety glass for any properties with children and/or pets.
Roof Vents & Louvres:
The Craftsman package deal is equipped with at least one manual roof vent and one 5-blade louvre. The number of roof vents increase with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft & 6ft long with one roof vent, one 5-blade louvre
- 8ft, 10ft & 12ft long with two roof vents, one 5-blade louvre
- 14ft & 16ft long with three roof vents, one 5-blade louvre
- 18ft & 20ft long with four roof vents, one 5-blade louvre
Automatic Ventilation:
With the Craftsman package deal, one Elite automatic roof vent opener is included, as well as one Elite automatic louvre opener. The automated openers will ensure that your vents open and close automatically, depending on the temperature, keeping your plants ventilated appropriately. Additional openers can be added to your order, if needed.
Shelving/Staging:
One 5-slat diamond staging and one 2-slat diamond shelf is included with the package deal. If you choose the greenhouse to be powder-coated, the shelving will be colour-matched, or you can choose plain aluminium, if you prefer.
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with integral gutters that collect rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection. A standard rainwater kit, which includes downpipes that connect directly to the integral gutters and collect rainwater into storage tanks or water butts is also included in the package deal.
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-coating colours to choose from; mocha, brown, graphite, white, olive, green, black, berry, stone and navy.
Grow Hooks:
Elite Grow Hooks are included with the package deal. They serve as attachment points for lightweight supports used in plant development, such as tomato strings. Apart from tomato strings, the hooks can be used to support other lightweight structures or materials that aid in plant growth and maintenance.
Cresting & Finials:
Cresting & Finials 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. Please see ‘Elite Cresting & Finials’ to add to your order.
