Greenhouse Overview

The Elite Windsor 4 x 6 Lean-to Greenhouse designed for smaller gardens and side returns, this model blends thoughtful design with reliable Elite craftsmanship.

Its reduced ridge height of just 6’6” ridge height excluding base, means it can sit comfortably against walls, sheds, or garages, making clever use of spaces where taller structures might be restricted. The lean-to design naturally harnesses warmth from the wall behind, helping maintain a stable temperature inside—ideal for nurturing tender plants, cuttings, and seedlings.

Constructed from Elite’s high-quality aluminium framing, the Windsor is built to last while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. The single sliding door can be positioned on either gable end, allowing you to configure the greenhouse to suit your layout. This versatility makes it particularly suited to narrow patios, sheltered corners, or awkward side plots where every inch matters.

Each Windsor greenhouse includes a ‘Z’ cill that overhangs a suitable base such as brick, timber, or aluminium. The glazed panels invite abundant natural light, creating a bright, productive environment where salad crops, herbs, and ornamentals can thrive throughout the seasons.

This Elite Package Deal combines a curated selection of essential accessories for a growing setup. A robust 5” separate aluminium base for extra height and stability is included, a louvre vent with an automatic opener to maintain optimal airflow, a manual roof vent with an automatic opening kit, and a lean-to rainwater kit for efficient water collection. With these enhancements, the Windsor 4 x 6 becomes a practical and attractive solution for year-round gardening in compact spaces.

The 20 Year Elite Guarantee

Every Elite Greenhouse comes with a 20-year guarantee as standard a true mark of confidence in their craftsmanship. Backed by a dedicated team passionate about quality, each greenhouse is designed to bring lasting enjoyment and to stand proudly in your garden for a lifetime.

At elbec, we’re proud to have partnered with Elite for over 20 years, also showcasing their exceptional greenhouses at our showsite and sharing their heritage of excellence with our customers.

Separate aluminium base

The separate aluminium base is part of the included package for this model. Standing 125 mm tall, this base runs around the full perimeter of the greenhouse, creating a convenient step-over at the doorway and providing extra stability. It includes base legs and corner brackets for a secure installation. While angle brackets are supplied with the greenhouse, they are not included with base-only purchases. Like the integral base, this aluminium option can be fitted to hardstanding and softer surfaces, giving you flexibility when planning your installation.

After Care - Maintenance free

Frame finish - Silver aluminium finish or optional powder coating in various colours

Glazing - Horticultural glass 

Roof glazing - Horticultural glass 

Roof Style -  Lean-To Style

Roof Vents - 1 Manual and 1 Automatic

Bespoke Greenhouse Options

You have the flexibility to choose bespoke options for this aluminium greenhouse. The available lengths can be customised in unlimited 2ft increments, allowing you to select the exact size that suits your garden. While the width remains fixed, the Windsor range offers a wide selection of sizes — and if none are quite right, simply let us know your preferred length, and we’ll tailor it to your specifications. You can also choose to have the door dropped into either the aluminium base or your own brick base, and even add an extra single door to the second gable end — all designed to personalise your growing space and make it truly your own.

Additional / Optional Accessories

In addition to the accessories included in the Package deal, the Elite Windsor Greenhouse also offers a selection of recommended and additional optional accessories to further enhance its functionality. Here are just a few: Upgrading to 4mm Toughened Glass ensures added safety and durability beyond the standard horticultural glass. Additional manual roof vent(s) and automatic roof vent kit(s) can be installed to maintain ideal ventilation with minimal effort, providing convenience and consistency for your plants. Note: Roof vents cannot be positioned side by side; they must be installed on alternate roof panels.

Installing a rainwater collection kit to one of the integral gutters allows you to harvest rainwater efficiently for sustainable watering practices. Bar capping adds a professional finish and improves glass security, making it an excellent addition for those looking for an upgraded polished appearance.

The flat cill option offers a clever solution if your chosen wall has awkward features like a soil pipe or low window ledge. This cill is designed to sit on a flat, level surface and includes internal angle brackets for fixing to a hard base. It’s particularly useful for lean-to models where height clearance is tight and the standard aluminium base may be too tall. It’s also a practical option if your brick perimeter hasn’t been built exactly to base dimensions, as the flat cill allows the frame to sit flush with the brickwork without overhang. The door end features a cambered cill and track channel, ensuring smooth access to the greenhouse.

While the Windsor comes with the necessary clips to secure your glazing, bar capping offers a premium alternative. It provides a firmer grip on the glass, improves water resistance with its rubber fin, and gives the structure a refined, streamlined look by hiding the glazing clips. In exposed or windy gardens, bar capping adds valuable extra security, helping to keep your greenhouse intact through changing weather. Available in over eleven attractive colours, it’s also a simple way to personalise the look of your greenhouse.

Optional accessories are available in the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.

Base and Installation Guidance

Paving Slabs or Concrete -  When installing your Elite Windsor 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 Elite Windsor Greenhouse is supplied with a ‘Z’ Cill perimeter as standard. This cill must overhang a brick, timber, optional 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 & Installation Service

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.
