Elite Greenhouse Accessories Explained

Elite Greenhouse Accessories Explained

Ventilation
Depending upon your growing intentions, ventilation is a big factor in a successful greenhouse experience. All Elite Greenhouses come with at least 4sq foot roof vent.
Too much ventilation in your greenhouse does not necessarily guarantee high quality results whereas too little in the greenhouse can often be disastrous. A greenhouse needs the ability to breathe not only for the influx of oxygen  for plants to grow but also to draw in cold air to assist in temperature control.

Automatic roof vents and side Louvre vents are an excellent and popular choice with customers. They offer peace of mind when on holiday or out at work. Ventilation is provided automatically via a solar powered wax cylinder which opens and closes the vent when the temperature inside reaches a certain temperature.

Rainwater Collection
Plants thrive from natural rainwater compared to tap.
Elite are famous for the unique integral semi-circled gutters and are the only manufacturer in the market to adopt this for greenhouses. A rainwater kit will allow rainwater to be collected and stored in a water barrel

Staging and Shelving
Elite Staging offers a work area within your greenhouse.
The staging available to you is dependent upon your greenhouse width and length. If you require staging to be located on either the left or right hand side of the door or both, then you just need to measure the distance from the chosen side to the door opening to maximize your work area.

Simply Measure the length along which staging is required. You may wish your staging to go down one side, or both, or in a u shape, or maybe even part way down one side or just at the end. Whichever you choose there will always be some elite staging to choose from.

Heating and Insulation
Small Electric heating provides an ideal environment for seeding and propagation by gently heating the air. The more powerful paraffin heaters are ideal to protect plants from frost.

Netting attached to the inside framework of the greenhouse provides shade for plants by dissipating the suns rays and preventing scorching.

Bubble plastic can enable earlier propagation of plants and extend plant life especially during the winter months when growth is slow and frost protection crucial.

Crestings and Finials
Not only a decorative finish to your greenhouse they can double up as a deterrent to birds and cats gaining access to the greenhouse roof.

Cantilevers
Add additional strength to the greenhouse framework, especially useful in areas where the greenhouse is exposed to high winds.

Fittings
Plastic hooks and eyes can be useful to attach light weight supports for plant development such as tomato strings and Lining hooks for attaching bubble plastic or netting.
