Greenhouse - doors?

We are debating between an Eden Burford greenhouse and an Elite Craftsman greenhouse. The former has no door sill at all and the latter a very low one. This is one of the considerations that we were concerned about.  Other than that, the specs are very similar and provide what we want within the budget we have.

We have been unable to find anywhere reasonably locally to see either of these ' in real life' as it were  and thus are having to rely on pictures, which we accept is not ideal.

With the Burford one, how close does the door come to the ground? Hopefully, some one on this site has one and can let us know if  it close enough to prevent unwelcome visitors ( such as mice)

Has anyone any hints / tips / comments about our choices? If so, we'd be really grateful to hear them.

With thanks

  • I put together an Eden bird lip 6x4 greenhouse last week and I have to say it was the most complicated kit Iv ever come across! I can't comment on the other make though

    This is my Elite 8x8 greenhouse which my brother and I put up. The door sill is almost flat to the ground - though its difficult to see on here. I don't think it could get any flatter and it certainly doesn't impede movement. I went for the two door option as it makes getting stuff in and out much easier. The greenhouse was mounted on flags so it does look as if there is a small lip.
