Essex Lincoln Lean-To Greenhouse Options
|
Additional Door: Doors can be be put into both ends of the Lincoln lean-to greenhouse, giving even easier access to the interior.
Roof Vents: Vents require one full roof panel on both sides. So one vent can be mounted easily in between two clear panels. A second vent could be added after the next clear panel. However roof vents are detrimental to air flow if an exhaust system is installed, as the fan will take air from the roof vents instead of the motorized vent.

Door on left end Door on right end
Drop Down Door: Many customers prefer to place their greenhouse on a raised knee-wall, also known as a stem wall. This can be accomodated to a height of up to 36".
Interior Wall: The Lincoln allows for an interior wall to be installed that has sliding doors. The wall is often used to separate the unit into two functional halves. For instance, one side can be a greenhouse and the other side is perfect for a hot tub.
