About Our Elite Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouses

Elite Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouses combine the height advantage of a brick base with the practicality of a narrower footprint. These models sit on a 762mm high dwarf wall, raising the eaves to 7ft 7" and providing better growing height for tomatoes, cucumbers, and climbing plants without requiring a wider space. The 6ft 3" width fits comfortably in typical UK garden plots while still offering 25-30% more vertical growing space compared to standard greenhouses.

Every model features 3mm toughened safety glazing as standard, built-in guttering for water collection, and a low-threshold sliding door with lock. You can choose from 10 powder-coated aluminium frame colours to match your property, and all models include at least one automatic roof vent for temperature control. Prices start from £899 for the compact Elite 6x6 Dwarf Wall model, rising to £2,159 for the 6x20 configuration.

✅ As the UK's premier Elite retailer, we are proud to announce all models now come with a newly-upgraded 20-year manufacturer warranty. All greenhouses qualify for free delivery across mainland UK, and professional installation services are available.

Key Features: What Makes These Greenhouses Different

Dwarf Wall Design Benefits:

  • 762mm High Brick Base Required - You build the wall, providing thermal mass that stores daytime heat and releases it at night, maintaining 3-5°C warmer temperatures during cold snaps.
  • 7ft 7" Ridge Height - 18-24" taller than standard 6ft greenhouses, allowing full-height tomato plants and better air circulation.
  • Low-Threshold Entrance - No trip hazard step, making wheelbarrow access and elderly-friendly entry significantly easier.

Construction & Glazing:

  • 20 Year Elite Factory Warranty - For Peace of Mind.
  • 3mm Toughened Safety Glass - 5x stronger than horticultural glass, resists hail and impact damage, and won't turn yellow over time.
  • Aluminium Frame in 10 Colours - Maintenance-free powder coating lasts 15-20 years without repainting.
  • Built-In Gutter System - Channels rainwater to collection points, ready to connect to a water butt.

Practical Design Details:

  • Sliding Door with Lock - Smooth operation even in wet weather, secures tools and equipment.
  • Minimum 1x Automatic Roof Vent - Temperature-activated, opens automatically at 18°C to prevent overheating.
  • Choice of 8 Length Options - From compact 6x6ft (£899) to extensive 6x20ft (£2,159) configurations.

Choosing Your Elite Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouse

Size Selection Guide:

The collection ranges from 6x6ft to 6x20ft, with 2ft incremental increases. A 6x6ft model provides 36 square feet of growing space and suits 4-5 growbags or 20-25 pots, ideal for hobby gardeners growing salads and herbs. The 6x10ft size (60 square feet) is the most popular configuration, accommodating 8-10 growbags and leaving room for a narrow staging shelf on one side.

For serious vegetable production, the 6x14ft and larger models offer 84+ square feet and can house 15-20 tomato plants plus companion crops. Remember that length is easier to accommodate than width in most UK gardens - a 6x14ft greenhouse fits a 15ft garden plot with space for the door to open fully.

Featured vs. Thyme Model Comparison:

Elite offers two distinct 6ft dwarf wall ranges. The Elite 6ft Thyme features Victorian-style decorative finials and ridge cresting, adding 6-8" to the overall height and costing approximately £150-200 more across sizes. The 'Featured' range (shown on this page) has a contemporary profile with squared roof lines and represents better value if aesthetics aren't your priority.

Both ranges use identical frame sections, glazing specifications, and carry the same 20-year warranty. The choice comes down to whether you want ornamental detailing or prefer to invest those savings in key accessories like staging or automatic louvre vents.

Material & Glazing:

All models in this collection come with 3mm toughened glass as standard. Toughened glass transmits 90% of available light (compared to 82-85% for polycarbonate) and won't discolour or become brittle after 5-7 years of UV exposure. The extra weight requires the proper dwarf wall foundation, but glass retains heat 15-20% better overnight compared to polycarbonate alternatives.

Budget between £899-£1,200 for the smaller sizes (6x6 to 6x8) and £1,400-£2,159 for the larger configurations (6x10 to 6x20). Browse our full range of Elite greenhouses or compare against 8ft wide dwarf wall models if you have more width available.

Building the Dwarf Wall Base: Essential Requirements

Before You Order:

The 762mm high dwarf wall must be constructed before delivery. You'll need approximately 140-160 bricks per linear metre depending on brick size, plus foundation concrete. Standard facing bricks work perfectly - avoid lightweight blocks that won't provide thermal mass benefits. The wall should measure 6ft 3" (1.9m) wide internally, with length matching your chosen greenhouse size.

Our detailed greenhouse base preparation guide includes brick calculations, foundation depth requirements (minimum 300mm), and step-by-step construction photos. The wall must be level within 10mm across its length and capped with a damp-proof course before the aluminium frame mounts on top.

  • Foundation Cost: Budget £200-350 for materials (concrete, bricks, DPC) for a 6x8ft wall, or £400-600 for a 6x14ft base.
  • Build Time: A competent DIYer can build a 6x10ft wall in 2-3 days; professional bricklayers charge £300-500 for labour.
  • Planning Permission: Not required for dwarf wall greenhouses under 4m high in domestic gardens (England/Wales).

If brickwork isn't your strength, our UK installation service includes base construction options in most regions. Call 0800 098 8877 to discuss your specific site conditions.
