You have a south-facing wall and not enough yard. The Aurora Lean-To is the answer. It installs directly against your house, garage, or garden wall — using the existing structure as one side. The result is a glass greenhouse that feels like an extension of your home, not an afterthought in your garden.
Walk through your kitchen door straight into your greenhouse. Pick tomatoes in November without putting on a coat. This is the most convenient greenhouse you can own — and one of the most beautiful.
Why Lean-To?
- Uses your existing wall — no freestanding structure needed. Installs against any solid wall: brick, block, timber, render.
- Smallest footprint, maximum growing space — at just 5'3" (1605mm) deep, it fits where a freestanding greenhouse never could.
- Connects to your home's warmth — the shared wall retains heat overnight, meaning lower heating costs and better growing conditions in winter.
- 4mm tempered glass — 100% light transmission. Clean, clear, and safe.
- 12-year structural warranty — powder-coated aluminium frame in 6 colours.
Standard Height vs Tall Height:
Standard height suits most walls and gives comfortable growing headroom. The Tall Height version has a significantly higher ridge — ideal if you want to grow climbers like cucumbers or beans vertically, or if you simply want more light and air.
Specs (Standard Height):
- Depth: 5'3" (1605mm)
- Available widths: 7'9" / 10'2" / 12'7" / 15'1" / 17'0"

Choosing width? Measure your available wall and leave at least 18 inches clearance on each side for door clearance and plant access. Email shop@zengreenhouses.com if you're unsure — we'll help you measure up.

Built Stronger. Lasts Longer.
Tempered glass, a powder-coated aluminum frame, and a shape that sheds weather. Here's what that means for how long it lasts, and how well it grows, in your yard.
Every panel is 4mm tempered safety glass — if it ever breaks, it crumbles into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. Stronger, and safer around the garden.
The powder-coated aluminum frame is rated to withstand 60 mph winds, so your greenhouse stays put through real weather, not just a calm afternoon.
The longest standard frame warranty in the US market, plus a 5-year panel warranty. Built to be the last greenhouse you buy, not the first of several.
