Dwarf Wall Brick Greenhouse
Dwarf Wall Greenhouses combine a traditional brick base with either an aluminium or wooden glazed superstructure. The 762mm masonry foundation acts as a thermal mass — absorbing daytime heat and releasing it overnight to keep the growing space 3-5°C warmer than glass-to-ground designs. Our range covers every style UK gardeners ask for: aluminium dwarf wall greenhouses from Elite (10 powder-coated colours, 20-year warranty) and Vitavia, wooden dwarf wall greenhouses from Swallow (ThermoWood frame, free installation included), and Victorian-style dwarf wall greenhouses from the leading Belgian manufacturer Janssens — heavy-duty premium glasshouses built to commercial-nursery standard for period homes.
About Our Dwarf Wall Greenhouses
A dwarf wall greenhouse sits on a low brick or block wall that you build yourself. The wall raises the frame off the ground, so the glazing starts at roughly waist height. We stock 108 dwarf wall greenhouses in this range, from compact 6x4 frames through to long 6x20 models. Prices start at £919. You will find aluminium frames from Elite and Vitavia plus timber frames from Swallow.
The wall holds warmth far better than glass-to-ground glazing. Solid masonry stores daytime heat and gives it back overnight, which steadies the temperature around your plants. It also looks more settled in a garden than an all-glass structure. Each model ships with base plans so you can build the wall to the right size. If you want a different look, browse our Victorian greenhouses, wooden greenhouses or aluminium greenhouses.
Why We Chose This Range
"I fit dwarf wall greenhouses all year, and the brick base earns its keep in winter. On a cold morning the air inside stays a few degrees warmer than a glass-to-ground house next to it. The one thing I drum into every customer: build the wall dead square. If it goes up out of true, the frame fights you at every bolt."
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores💡 Tip: Set the wall height to match the frame plans before you lay a single brick. Most aluminium models want a 762mm wall, so measure twice and check the plans for your exact size.
🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Build the Wall True
Run a string line along each course and check it with a spirit level as you go. Keep the top of the wall flat and the corners at 90 degrees. A wall that is level and square lets the frame sit flush, so the glazing seats cleanly and every door slides without binding.
Matt's Pick: Swallow Kingfisher 6x8 Dwarf Wall
Best For: growers who want a warm, traditional timber house with installation handled for them.
Why I Recommend It: the thermo wood frame pairs beautifully with a brick base, and Swallow wooden models come with free professional installation. You get the heat retention of the wall without the build worry.

Frequently asked questions
What is a dwarf wall greenhouse?
It is a greenhouse that sits on a low brick or block wall. The wall raises the frame off the ground, so glazing starts around waist height. The base holds heat better than glass-to-ground glazing.
How tall should the dwarf wall be?
Most aluminium models need a wall about 762mm high. Always check the base plans for your chosen model. Each greenhouse ships with the exact wall dimensions.
Do I build the wall myself?
Yes, you build the wall before the greenhouse arrives. We supply full base plans with every model. Many customers use a local bricklayer for the wall.
Are dwarf wall greenhouses warmer?
Yes, the masonry base stores heat and steadies the temperature. It soaks up warmth by day and releases it overnight. Plants sit a few degrees warmer than in a glass-to-ground house.
Which dwarf wall greenhouse should I buy?
Choose by frame material and budget. Elite suits buyers wanting colour choice, while Swallow timber suits those wanting warmth and free fitting. Prices start at £919.
