low threshold kit now includes a full 4 sided frame for the door opening with lock at a
more comfortable height. Available for single or double sliding doors.
ƔHinged Doors: These are a very handsome upgrade. They are inset into the frame of
the greenhouse and are further weatherproofed with rubber gaskets. The doors feature
their own door jamb including low threshold and high-quality adjustable hinges for easier
hanging. Traditional handles with a keyed lock will keep your greenhouse secure.
Double or single hinged doors are available. A hinged door can be easier to work with if
the greenhouse is placed on a stem wall. It is preferable to order a hinged door with the
greenhouse as the hinged doors must be sent via freight truck and shipping costs can be
prohibitive if shipped at a later date.
Number of doors vary by size of greenhouse:
żVI 23 standard greenhouse includes one single sliding door. This model has 3 wall
panes on the gable end and 4 on the longer side. A single door may be easily centered
on the gable end, but will be placed off center on the long side.
żVI 34 standard greenhouse includes one single sliding door. This model has 4 wall
panes on the gable end and 6 on the longer side. A single door will not be centered on
either wall. Upgrades to a double door are available if desired.
żVI 36 standard greenhouse includes a double sliding door. This may be placed as a
double door opening (with no center support) OR as two single sliding doors. This
model has 4 wall panes on the gable end and 8 on the longer side. A double door
opening may be centered on either side, a single door opening will not be centered. If
placing a double door on the long side, please see note below regarding “Special
Considerations for VI36 and VI46”.
żVI 46 standard greenhouse includes a double sliding door. This may be placed as a
double door opening (with no center support) OR as two single sliding doors. This
model has 5 wall panes on the gable end and 8 on the longer side. A double sliding
door may be centered on the long side (please see notes below on “Special
considerations for VI 36 and VI46”), but can only be centered on the gable end with
additional parts and customization on site (please see notes on “Customizing Door
Placement”).
żRetro Victorian Greenhouses come standard with hinged double doors regardless of
size and will also include push-out (top hang) window/s rather than a louvered window.
Special Consideration for VI 36 and VI46 Door Placement: These two models
include a set of 3 Spandrels/Deco Scroll Supports to help support the long
profiles/extrusions of the greenhouse. These attach at the gutters and ridge beam at the
midpoint of the greenhouse. They will interfere with centering a double door on the long
side of the greenhouse as the spandrel at the gutter needs to attach to the rafter and the
vertical glazing bar. Find information on the spandrels in the table of contents.
There are a few options to remedy this while still centering the double door on the long
wall:
ƔPurchase one additional spandrel to have a pair that may be installed to the left
and the right of the door. The spandrel for the ridge and opposite gutter will
