Description
The Elite Zenith 800 Greenhouse is a remarkable addition to the range of greenhouses offered by Elite, known for its combination of traditional Victorian aesthetics and modern engineering. The design of the Zenith greenhouse draws inspiration from Victorian greenhouses, characterised by its steep roof pitch of 45 degrees. This not only enhances its visual appeal but also maximises the internal growing space.
The greenhouse measures 8’5” in width, with an impressive eaves height of 1583mm and a ridge height reaching up to 3160mm! This significant height allows for ample vertical growing space, making it suitable for taller plants and crops. The Zenith model also includes Titan bars, as well as cantilevers, so is immensely strong.
The Zenith 800 is available in unlimited lengths.
Base:
The greenhouse features an aluminium integral base, which is part of the framework giving additional strength. Elite Greenhouses only supply bases made from aluminium, therefore removing the fear of rust, rot or warping.
The majority of greenhouses are constructed onto a solid foundation however if your greenhouse is being constructed onto soil or grass, persistent stepping on the door cill will cause damage as it will naturally follow the contour of the ground. A hard support, such as flags, must be fitted under the cill and Elite recommend using their soft soil support which allows the door(s) to run in the track.
The greenhouse can also be modified for a dwarf wall, contact us for details.
Doors:
The greenhouse is supplied with low threshold sliding double doors, with a handle, lock and key.
Glass:
The greenhouse is equipped with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard.
Roof Vents & Louvres:
The Zenith 800 greenhouse has a minimum of two roof vents and one 10-blade louvre. The number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 6ft, 9ft & 12ft long with two roof vents, one 10-blade louvre.
- 15ft long with four roof vents, one 10-blade louvre.
- 18ft long with six roof vents, one 10-blade louvre.
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent openers are included for every roof vent with the Zenith. 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:
Additional staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the Zenith greenhouse, the 7-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf.
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with extra wide integral gutters and standard rainwater kit that collects rainwater from the roof and connects to storage tanks or water butts. Also available as an optional extra 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 a standard feature of the Zenith greenhouse. 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.
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:
The greenhouse is supplied with cresting and finials as standard.
