Description
The Kensington 6 Lean-to greenhouse by Elite is a sophisticated and timeless structure that can be customised to fit any length and powder coated in a variety of colours from Elite’s selection. This greenhouse provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal for garden enthusiasts looking to seamlessly integrate their outdoor space with the comforts of their home. In addition to its visual appeal, the Kensington 6 greenhouse offers practical features, such as efficient ventilation systems, sturdy construction, and ample space for cultivating plants.
If you have anything which overhangs the ridge of the lean-to, you must allow 1″ (25mm) height clearance for the roof vent.
The Kensington 6 is available in unlimited lengths.
Base:
The Kensington 6 features a small lip along the base, designed to fit over the Elite base or a custom-built raised plinth. If you choose not to use the Elite Base, you’ll need to support this lip with materials like timber battens, bricks, or blocks to ensure a secure fit. The Elite base adds an additional 5″ to the height of the greenhouse.
The Kensington 6 can also be installed onto a dwarf wall, please contact us for further details and prices.
Doors:
The Kensington 6 Lean-To is supplied with a single 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. We insist for legal and safety reasons, that toughened glass is chosen if any of your lean-to covers an entrance to a dwelling.
Roof Vents & Louvres:
The Kensington 6 greenhouse has a minimum of one manual roof vent and one 5-blade louvre. The number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft & 12ft with one roof vent and one 5-blade louvre
- 14ft & 16ft with two roof vents and one 5-blade louvre
- 18ft & 20ft with three roof vents and one 5-blade louvre
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent and louvre 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 extruded shelf is included as standard with the Kensington 6 model. Additional staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the Kensington 6, the 5-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf.
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with an integral gutter that collects rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection. To maximise the effectiveness of the integral gutter, we offer optional rainwater kits. The lean-to standard rainwater kit includes a downpipe and stop end that connects directly to the integral gutter and collects rainwater into storage tanks or water butts.
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 and navy.
