About Our Elite Sanctuary 8ft Wide Greenhouses
The Elite Sanctuary 8ft Wide Greenhouses collection offers a unique solution for gardeners seeking a crossover between a high-performance growing space and a luxury leisure building. Designed as a "hybrid" structure, the Sanctuary utilizes the robust Core Vector System found in our heavy-duty ranges. This technology uses a Titan box section frame to provide exceptional wind resistance without the need for internal bracing, creating a clean, open interior perfect for sitting in.
With 6ft 7" high eaves, these structures provide ample headroom, allowing you to grow tall crops or create a relaxing environment with furniture. Every model includes 4mm Toughened Safety Glass as standard, ensuring safety and thermal efficiency. If you require a narrower footprint, you may wish to view our Elite Sanctuary 6ft Wide Greenhouses. The Sanctuary is a durable addition to your garden lifestyle, fully backed by a 20-year frame warranty and manufactured in the UK.

Choosing Your Elite Sanctuary Greenhouse
Selecting the right model depends on your available space and how you plan to use the building. The 8ft width is generous, allowing for wide staging on both sides while maintaining a spacious central aisle. Prices start from £2200, reflecting the premium specification which includes bar capping and integral gutters. The range is available in unlimited lengths, making it easy to find a size that fits your patio or garden perfectly.
A standout benefit of this range is flexibility. Unlike many competitors, the Sanctuary allows you to position the double sliding doors on the front, back, or any side bay. This makes it perfect for courtyard gardens where gable-end access is restricted. The low threshold base is another critical feature, ensuring a "no-trip" entry point that is safe for wheelbarrows and gardeners with mobility aids.
We offer the full Elite Greenhouse Range in 10 powder-coated finishes. While installation is straightforward with the integral aluminium base, many customers prefer our professional Greenhouse Installation Service for convenience. You can compare the Sanctuary against other heavy-duty models, such as the Elite Titan High Wind Resistant Greenhouses, to ensure you choose the right frame for your needs.
