Description
The Elite Windsor Lean-to Greenhouse is designed to maximise gardening potential in limited spaces, making it an ideal choice for urban gardeners or those with smaller gardens. Its lean-to structure allows it to be attached to a wall, which not only saves space but still allows ample growing space. One of its key features is its low ridge height, which measures 6’7”. This relatively low height makes it well-suited for attaching to existing structures such as garages.
The sleek design of the Elite Windsor Lean-to Greenhouse can enhance the visual appeal of any garden space or patio area, blending functionality with style.
The Windsor Lean-to is available in unlimited lengths.
We have the Elite Windsor 4×8 in Aluminium on demonstration at our premises, available for viewing – please see our opening hours for further details or call 01772 230170.
Base:
The Windsor 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 Windsor can also be installed onto a dwarf wall, please contact us for further details and prices.
Doors:
The Windsor Lean-to is supplied with a single sliding door, with a handle, lock and key. On ordering, we will contact you to discuss your preference as to which side you would want to have the door.
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 Windsor Lean-to greenhouse has a minimum of one manual roof vent. The number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft & 12ft with one roof vent
- 14ft & 16ft with two roof vents
- 18ft & 20ft with three roof vents
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent and 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:
Additional staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the Windsor Lean-to, 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.
