5 Blade Louvre Vent
An excellent accessory is a Louvre window. Elite offer a 5 blade and 10 blade Louvre (the 10 blade is available only on the Elite Titan range) and both are glazed with toughened safety glass as standard and aluminium or polycarbonate blades are also an option.
Humid and stagnant air can cause condensation and develops disease and mould in plants. By adding a Louvre on the side or
rear of your Elite building, fresh air is drawn in and encouraged to circulate from different levels.
Automatic Louvre Vent
An automatic mechanism is also available for the 5 and 10 blade Louvre.
Standard Rainwater Kit
Compatible with Elite’s unique half round integral gutter only.
The kit comprises of pipe work and outlets for one end of each gutter and stoppers to terminate the opposite ends. The system works by collecting the rainwater into a barrel or other designated outlet.
Water barrels are sold separately.
Rainwater Kit to One Gutter
To eradicate the need for more than one barrel or outlet, a traverse pipe is placed along the rear of the greenhouse terminating into a T junction which connects both gutters to one outlet. This in turn allows the water to be carried from both gutters into a single point such as a barrel or grid. This kit can only be fitted at the rear of the greenhouse. When ordering please state the greenhouse width.
Water Barrels are sold separately.
100 Litre Water Barrel
Elite offer a range of ridged moulded plastic barrels upto a capacity of 210litres (46 gallons) to complementthe rainwater kits. The barrel ensures the collection of rainwater is a simple task, and when raised on bricks or fitted to the low cost stand, allows for simple access to the incorporated tap.

2 Slat Diamond Shelf
Made from extruded aluminium for a stronger and thicker material, this shelf has been designed specifically for an Elite product, be it a greenhouse or lean-to. The shelving can be adjusted to any height required within the greenhouse and is built with a slatted design, allowing for extra ventilation to any produce placed on the work surface, and ideal for fluid drainage compared with the traditional solid shelf.
The diamond shelf has been tailored to the Elite framework, hence accommodating the diagonal braces within the building which do not need removing and thus allowing for the first time a shelf which can fill the full width or length of your greenhouse.

Ideal as a frost heater in larger greenhouses or for more concentrated use in a greenhouse up to 5 square metres, the Super Warm 5 boasts a 4.5 litre capacity fuel tank which will burn continuously for a staggering 3.5 days on one filling.
Netting
Over exposure to the sun, especially if the roof section is south facing, can often scorch leaves. The netting attaches to the inside of the framework to allow a roof vent to reduce the greenhouse temperature and provides a good shade system for plants through dissipating the sun’s rays, thus preventing burning.
Each kit is 20’ x 6’ and comes complete with Lining Hooks.
Bubble Wrap
Insulation extends plant life and can enable earlier propagation of plants, especially during the winter months when growth is much slower and frost protection is crucial. Each kit is 30’ x 2’5” and comes complete with fittings to attach the UVI treated insulation to the framework and is guaranteed for 5 years against discolouration. Elite recommend that if you do insulate your greenhouse, an allowance for ventilation is required to prevent damping off and the formation of disease. Comes complete with Lining Hooks.
Floor Matting
Elite Greenhouse matting provides a soft step by flexing gently and cushions footsteps and the pliable vinyl provides protection against breakage of items that would shatter if dropped on a concrete surface.
Each tile is 300mm x 300mm and easily clicks together to form any length, width or shape you need.
The matting is lightweight and has a high resistance to extreme temperatures.
The matting will not split, crack, warp or discolour and is resistant to oils, detergents, mould and mildew.

Soil Bed Divider
The soil bed divider allows you to replicate an outdoor soil bed situation inside your greenhouse, while at the same time, controlling the amount of water and temperature its contents are exposed to.
The divider is fixed to the built in base section around the perimeter of the greenhouse and, because it is fixed to a continuous bolt channel, you can easily alter the bed width to suit your requirements. The divider is 100mm tall and made of strong aluminium extrusion that can also be powder coated to suit your greenhouse colour.
Suitable for Elite Greenhouses with built in aluminium bases.

Base
Elite buildings, with the exception of the GX and iGro, require a base of some description whether it is timber, aluminium or brick.
Many Elite buildings are supplied with an aluminium built in base as standard, but for the larger greenhouses and lean-to range Elite can offer a separate 5” tall aluminium base. Aluminium is used, as unlike other materials, it will not discolour or rust and can also be powder coated to suit your greenhouse. Opting for an aluminium base not only eliminates the need for a traditional brick base but also allows you to sit the greenhouse straight onto any solid foundation, soil or grass. Elite’s aluminium bases can only be guaranteed to fit an Elite Greenhouse or Lean-to.
