About Our Elite Sanctuary 6ft Wide Greenhouses
The Elite Sanctuary is a hybrid greenhouse and garden room built on the heavy-duty Titan Core-Vect box-section frame. At 6ft 2in wide with 6ft 7in (2025mm) eaves, it provides full standing height throughout the entire building — not just under the ridge. This makes it one of the few greenhouses that doubles as a genuine leisure space for reading, yoga, or protecting tender exotics over winter.
We stock 8 sizes from the compact 6x6 to the expansive 6x20. Every model includes 4mm toughened safety glass, bar capping, automatic roof vents, 2 louvre vents, and the integral low threshold base. The Sanctuary's standout feature is flexible door positioning — you can install the double sliding doors on the gable end or any side bay, making it ideal for courtyard gardens where end-access is restricted. For a wider version, see the Elite Sanctuary 8ft Wide. For a 6ft wide model at a lower price point, see the Elite High Eave.
Why We Chose This Range
"We stock the Sanctuary 6ft because it solves the narrow garden problem. Many customers want a garden room or conservatory but only have a 6ft wide side return. The Sanctuary fits this space perfectly but, thanks to the 6ft 7in eaves, does not feel cramped. It allows you to create a glass escape in spaces where a traditional summerhouse would not fit. The inclusion of bar capping as standard makes it one of the securest buildings we sell."
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresKey Features of the Sanctuary 6ft
Flexible Door Placement
The Modul-Air design allows double sliding doors on the gable end or any side bay. This 360-degree access option lets you fit the greenhouse into tight courtyards, side returns, or create a garden room entrance facing your patio.
Titan-Strength Frame
The Core-Vect box-section bars provide the same structural integrity as the Elite Titan range. No internal bracing is needed, keeping the interior clean and open for furniture or staging layouts.
Full Standing Height
At 6ft 7in eaves, you have full headroom everywhere inside — not just under the ridge. Standard greenhouses have 4ft 5in eaves, forcing you to stoop near the walls. The Sanctuary eliminates this entirely.
Premium Specification
Every model includes 4mm toughened safety glass, bar capping, automatic roof vent, 2 louvre vents, integral low threshold base, and a 20-year warranty. Available in 10+ powder-coated colours.

💡 Quick Guide: The 6x10 is the ideal Sanctuary for most customers. It provides a genuine garden room feel with space for a small seating area alongside growing. If your side return is longer, the 6x16 or 6x20 fills the space without wasting a centimetre.
🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Side Door Alignment
The Sanctuary allows you to position the double doors on any side bay. This creates a stunning garden room entrance but demands precision on your base.
Unlike gable doors which are supported by the roof peak, side doors hang from the eaves beam. If your base dips in the middle, the eaves beam will bow, and the doors will jam or roll open on their own. Use a 6ft spirit level to check the side rail is dead level along the full length. Read our full base preparation guide here.
The Sanctuary 6ft range starts from £1,740 for the 6x6. All models include the Titan Core-Vect frame, 4mm toughened glass, bar capping, automatic roof vent, 2 louvre vents, and a 20-year warranty. Free UK delivery included. Our professional installation service handles the complete build. Browse the full Elite Greenhouse range to compare all models.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How high are the eaves on the Elite Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary has 6ft 7in (2025mm) eaves throughout the building. This is significantly taller than standard greenhouses (usually 4ft 5in eaves). You have full standing headroom everywhere inside, not just under the ridge. This makes it suitable as a garden room, yoga space, or leisure area.
-
Can I move the doors to any position?
Yes, the double sliding doors can go on the gable end or any side bay. The Modul-Air design allows complete flexibility. This is ideal for narrow gardens, courtyards, or creating a garden room entrance facing your patio or house.
-
Is the Sanctuary wind resistant?
Yes, it uses the same Titan Core-Vect frame as the heavy-duty Titan range. The box-section bars provide exceptional rigidity without internal bracing. Bar capping is included as standard, locking the glass firmly into the frame during storms. It is one of the strongest 6ft greenhouses available.
-
What is included as standard?
The Sanctuary is a premium-specification package with no hidden extras. It includes 4mm toughened safety glass, bar capping, automatic roof vent, 2 louvre vents, integral low threshold base, built-in guttering, and security-locking double sliding doors. The 20-year warranty covers the aluminium framework.
-
How does the Sanctuary compare to the Elite High Eave?
The Sanctuary has taller eaves and a heavier frame, at a higher price. The High Eave has 5ft 2in eaves on the standard Elite bar. The Sanctuary has 6ft 7in eaves on the heavy-duty Titan Core-Vect bar with bar capping. Choose the High Eave for pure growing value. Choose the Sanctuary for garden room use and maximum headroom.
-
Does the Elite Sanctuary come with a base?
Yes, the integral aluminium base with low threshold entry is included. This removes the trip hazard found in traditional greenhouses. You need a level perimeter foundation of concrete, paving slabs, or pressure-treated timber. The base connects directly to your foundation.
