About Our Elite Sanctuary 6ft Wide Greenhouses
The Elite Sanctuary represents a shift in greenhouse design, bridging the gap between a functional horticultural building and a comfortable garden room. Unlike standard models, the Sanctuary is marketed as a "Wellbeing Space," ideal for yoga, reading, or protecting tender exotics over winter. This collection is part of the wider Elite Greenhouse Range, known for British manufacturing quality.
The core advantage of this 6ft wide model is the Titan Strength Engineering. It utilises Elite's "Core Vector" technology—thick box-section aluminium bars that provide immense wind resistance without the need for intrusive internal bracing. This makes the Sanctuary one of the most storm-proof greenhouses for sale in the UK, perfect for exposed gardens where standard frames might struggle.
We also stock the wider Elite Sanctuary 8ft Wide Greenhouses if you require more floor space, but the 6ft wide version offers the perfect balance of commercial strength and compact design for narrower plots. For those prioritizing pure structural rigidity for exposed sites, the Sanctuary shares its DNA with the Elite Titan High Wind Resistant Greenhouses.
Choosing Your Elite Sanctuary Greenhouse
Selecting the right model depends on how you plan to use this hybrid space. The Sanctuary is available in unlimited lengths, starting from the compact Elite Sanctuary 6x6 up to the expansive Elite Sanctuary 6x20.
Key Features & Customisation
🚪 Unmatched Flexibility
A standout feature is the door placement. You can position the double sliding doors on the gable end or any side bay (flank). This "360° Access" allows you to fit the greenhouse into tight courtyards or side returns where end-access isn't possible.
🛡️ Safety & Glazing
Every model comes with 4mm Toughened Safety Glass as standard, which is essential for a leisure building. It also features Bar Capping for a neat finish and improved draft-proofing.
♿ Accessibility
The Low Threshold Base removes the trip hazard found in traditional greenhouses, making it safe for wheelbarrows and older gardeners.
Prices for this premium range start from £1899. Whether you are growing tomatoes or creating a warm seating area, this structure adapts to your needs. If you are new to gardening under glass, our What To Grow Beginners Guide offers excellent tips to get you started in your new Sanctuary.

🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: The Flexible Door
The Sanctuary allows you to position the double doors on the gable end (standard) OR on any of the side bays.
Crucial Step: If you plan to put the doors on the side (to create a "Garden Room" style entrance), ensure your base is perfectly level across that long span. Unlike a gable door which is supported by the roof peak, a side door relies entirely on the eaves beam being straight. Use a 6ft spirit level to check the side rail is dead level, or the doors will roll open on their own!
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock the Elite Sanctuary 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 7" eaves, doesn't feel cramped. It allows you to create a 'Glass Escape' in spaces where a traditional summerhouse wouldn't fit. Plus, the inclusion of Bar Capping as standard makes it one of the securest buildings we sell.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresCommon Questions About the Elite Sanctuary
How high are the eaves?
The Sanctuary features exceptional 2.02m (6ft 7") eaves. This is significantly higher than standard greenhouses (usually 4ft 5"), allowing for full head-height standing room throughout the entire building, not just in the middle.
Can I move the doors?
Yes. The "Modul-Air" design allows the double sliding doors to be installed on the gable end (front) or on any of the side bays. This flexibility makes it ideal for narrow gardens or courtyards.
Is it wind resistant?
Extremely. The Sanctuary uses the same Core-Vect Titan Bar technology as the heavy-duty Titan range. It also comes with Bar Capping as standard (rubber strips instead of clips) to lock the glass in place during storms.
What is included as standard?
The Sanctuary is a "high-spec" package. It includes 4mm Toughened Safety Glass, Bar Capping, Automatic Roof Vents, and the Integral Low Threshold Base as standard. You don't need to add these as extras.
