Elite Zenith 800 Greenhouse

The Elite Zenith 800 Greenhouse is a remarkable addition to the range of greenhouses offered by Elite Greenhouses, 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 Elite Zenith 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 on every roof vent as standard 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:
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 or 3-slat for the eye-level shelf.

Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with extra wide integral gutters that collect rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection.  A standard rainwater kit is also included as standard with the Elite Zenith 800 which 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:
The Zenith 800 greenhouse is supplied with bar capping as a standard feature. This system provides a stronger, more secure hold for the glass and includes a rubber fin that enhances the water seal while neatly concealing the glazing clips for a cleaner, more refined finish.

Bar capping is supplied in black as standard with aluminium models. For powder-coated greenhouses, the bar capping is colour-matched to the frame.  If you would prefer an alternative colour, please specify your choice in the order notes.

Cantilevers
Cantilevers are supplied as standard with the Zenith greenhouse.  They are used as eave and/or ridge bracing.  They add strength to greenhouse framework by providing additional support and rigidity. The cantilevers distribute the weight and pressure more evenly across the framework, which can be useful in areas with high wind or snow loads.

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”, “Linen”, “Willow” and “Navy”, at an additional cost.  See the Powder Coating Tab for further information.

Cresting & Finials:
The greenhouse is supplied with cresting and finials as standard. 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 the same colour as your greenhouse.

Guarantee:
Elite Greenhouses are provided with a 20 year guarantee.  They guarantee that no aluminium part will rust or warp.  The guarantee excludes glazing or weather damage.
