Description
In situations where space is limited to an 8’ wide area, traditional greenhouse options often required compromises due to their larger sizes. However, the introduction of the Vantage model by Elite offers a solution to this issue.
This innovative design allows customers with restricted space constraints to enjoy a greenhouse that maximises the available base size while still offering key functionalities such as double doors for easy access, cantilever braces for structural support, and Elite’s signature low threshold access for convenience.
By choosing the Vantage greenhouse from Elite, customers can now make optimal use of their space without having to settle for a smaller structure. This model not only provides a spacious gardening environment but also ensures that essential features are incorporated to enhance usability and functionality.
The Vantage is available in unlimited lengths.
Base:
The greenhouse features an integral base. The greenhouse can also be modified for a dwarf wall, contact us for details.
Doors:
The Vantage is supplied with low threshold double doors, 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 Vantage 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
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 Vantage, the 7-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf.
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 and navy.
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.
