Dwarf Wall Brick Greenhouse
Dwarf Wall Greenhouses combine a traditional brick base with a modern aluminium or timber glazing system. This masonry foundation acts as a heat sink, absorbing warmth during the day and releasing it at night to protect plants from sudden temperature drops. We stock the UK's leading ranges from Elite, Vitavia, and Swallow, all designed to sit on a standard 762mm (30") single-skin wall for a classic Victorian aesthetic.
About Our Dwarf Wall Brick Greenhouses
A dwarf wall brick greenhouse combines classic Victorian design with practical growing benefits. These structures sit on a low masonry wall—typically 762mm high for most models—rather than extending to ground level like standard greenhouses. The brick or stone base acts as a thermal mass, absorbing heat during the day and releasing it slowly overnight to keep plants 3–5°C warmer than glass-to-ground alternatives.
Our collection includes models from three trusted UK manufacturers. The Vitavia Cassandra features a powder-coated black aluminium frame with 3mm toughened safety glass. For gardeners wanting colour options, the Elite Dwarf Wall range offers ten finishes and customisable designs. The premium Swallow Kingfisher uses thermowood timber frames and includes free professional installation.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock these specific Dwarf Wall models because they solve the biggest problem with greenhouse gardening: temperature fluctuation. The masonry base acts as a thermal mass, keeping your growing space more stable than a glass-to-ground structure. Plus, the Elite and Swallow ranges allow for custom flange modifications, meaning we can often adapt the frame to fit an existing wall—something cheaper brands simply cannot do.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: The "Wait" Rule
The most common mistake customers make with Dwarf Wall greenhouses is building the brickwork before the greenhouse arrives. Please do not do this.
Every manufacturer has a slightly different tolerance (e.g., Swallow requires a 607mm wall, while Elite needs 762mm). We always recommend waiting for the official base plan we send after your order is processed. Building to the plan ensures the greenhouse flange overlaps the brickwork correctly, preventing water ingress and warranty issues.
Choosing Dwarf Wall Brick Greenhouses: Quick Guide
- Entry-Level Aluminium: Vitavia models start around £799 (6x4 size).
- Mid-Range Coloured Aluminium: Elite models range from £899–£1,800 depending on size.
- Premium Timber: Swallow options start from approximately £3,500 (includes professional installation).
Don’t forget the total project cost. Building a brick base adds £300–£800 depending on size and whether you hire a bricklayer. Materials for an 8x10 base cost around £400, with labour adding another £400–£600.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a dwarf wall brick greenhouse and how does it differ from standard greenhouses?
A dwarf wall brick greenhouse sits on a low masonry wall (usually 762mm high) rather than reaching the ground. The brick base stores heat, keeping the interior 3–5°C warmer than all-glass designs and offering extra stability and protection against accidental damage.
-
Do you supply the bricks for the dwarf wall?
No, we supply the greenhouse frame and glass. You (or your builder) must construct the brick wall to the dimensions provided in the base plan sent after ordering.
-
Can I put a dwarf wall greenhouse on an existing wall?
Only if the dimensions match exactly. Elite greenhouses can sometimes be modified to fit non-standard walls, but it is often easier and cheaper to build a new wall to standard specifications.
-
How much do dwarf wall brick greenhouses cost including the wall?
Expect to pay from £799 for compact aluminium models up to £3,500+ for premium timber versions. Add £300–£800 for the brick base, with typical 8x10 builds costing around £400 in materials plus £400–£600 labour.
-
What height should a greenhouse brick base be?
Most designs need a 762mm (30-inch) wall, though Swallow models require 607mm. Always wait for the official base plan before building, as specifications vary by brand and size.
-
Do dwarf wall brick greenhouses need planning permission?
They may in conservation areas or if the structure exceeds 30m². As permanent masonry structures, check with your local authority before starting work.
