Elite Greenhouses also provides a selection of recommended optional accessories to enhance functionality and convenience. Add extra roof and louvre vents for improved airflow where plants need additional ventilation.

Recommended Base Types
Paving Slabs or Concrete - When installing your Elite Easygrow Greenhouse, choosing the right base is key for stability and long-lasting performance. A popular option is to create a level, paved or concrete area. We recommend making the base slightly larger than the greenhouse dimensions, as listed sizes are nominal and the actual structure can be a few inches bigger. Always refer to the metric measurements in the specification table to get the correct size.
For example, an 8’x6’ greenhouse is best suited to a slab area of around 10’x8’. This not only ensures a proper fit but also provides extra room for placing water butts and makes cleaning and maintenance more accessible.
Soft Ground - If your greenhouse will sit on soft ground, such as soil or grass, additional support beneath the door cill is essential. Without this, frequent use of the door can cause damage. To prevent issues, place paving flags under the cill or use Elite’s dedicated soft soil support, which ensures the doors run smoothly along the track.
No matter the surface, Elite supplies secure anchoring options for the base, giving you confidence in a stable and reliable installation.
'Z' Cill - The Easygrow Greenhouse is supplied with a ‘Z’ Cill perimeter as standard. This cill must overhang a brick, timber, optional integral base, or similar foundation. If you are building on a brick base, precise accuracy is required – the dimensions must match exactly, and you must allow for a vertical upstand of at least 13mm. The tolerance is tight, so be careful not to exceed the measurements.
Please note: the ‘Z’ Cill cannot be fitted directly onto a flat surface or soft ground. Internal fixing brackets are supplied for secure installation, positioned where the vertical side glazing bar meets the bottom cill. Plugs and screws, however, are not included.
Easy Assembly & Professional Installation Options
Every Elite Aluminium Greenhouse is designed to make set-up as easy as possible. All fixtures and fittings are included, and the detailed instructions walk you through each step. With only a few standard tools, most customers can assemble their greenhouse over a weekend, the pace depends on your skills, confidence, and how many helping hands you have.
If you’d rather not build it yourself, we offer access to professional third-party installers. This service gives you peace of mind that your greenhouse will be assembled correctly and ready to enjoy. Simply contact us for details of recommended fitters in your area.
Aluminium Greenhouse Maintenance
Maintenance and care are essential for prolonging the lifespan of your Elite Greenhouse. The upkeep is simple but can ensure your greenhouse serves you for many years, even decades. Cleaning your greenhouse is crucial in enhancing the plant-growing environment by eliminating algae, moss, and grime. It allows more light in and also helps in managing pests and diseases.
To maintain your greenhouse effectively, start by temporarily relocating your plants. Use a brush to clean tabletops, remove cobwebs from corners, and eliminate floor debris. Ensuring clean windows inside and outside is vital for maximising light levels. You can clean the glass, aluminium, and plastic surfaces with a microfibre cloth, using hot, soapy water or a commercial greenhouse cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
