About Our Elite Thyme Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouses
The Elite Thyme brings authentic Victorian elegance to compact growing spaces. These dwarf wall greenhouses combine traditional 12-inch glazing panes with modern aluminium engineering, giving you the classic glasshouse aesthetic without the maintenance headaches of timber.
Built to sit on a 762mm brick wall, the Elite Thyme offers significantly better heat retention than standard base models — you'll maintain temperatures 3-5°C warmer in winter. The dwarf wall design also provides a traditional appearance that complements period properties and formal gardens beautifully.
At 6ft 2" wide, these greenhouses fit snugly into smaller plots without compromising growing height. You'll get a comfortable 7ft 11" ridge height and can choose from nine different lengths, from the compact 6x4 model right up to the expansive 6x20. Every greenhouse includes built-in gutters, a lockable sliding door, and both roof and louvre ventilation as standard.

Choosing Your Elite Thyme Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouse
Your main decision is length. We offer nine sizes in this collection, starting with the 6x4 model. Most customers with allotments or small-to-medium gardens find the 6x8 or 6x10 models provide the perfect balance of growing space and footprint.
You'll need to prepare a 762mm high brick or block wall before installation. Once you've ordered, we'll email and post a detailed wall plan to you or your builder — it shows exact dimensions and makes material calculation straightforward. If brickwork isn't your strength, our professional installation service can coordinate the entire build, from wall construction to final greenhouse assembly.
The 3mm toughened safety glass comes as standard and provides excellent light transmission while meeting British safety standards. You can add staging, extra vents, or rainwater kits directly from each product page — all accessories are model-specific, so you'll only see options that actually fit your chosen size.
Looking for more width? Our Elite Thyme 8ft Wide collection offers the same Victorian styling with an extra 2ft of bench space. For guidance on preparing your site, read our greenhouse base preparation guide.
Frequently Asked Questions about Elite Thyme Dwarf Wall 6ft Wide Greenhouses
-
What is a dwarf wall greenhouse and why should I choose one?
A dwarf wall greenhouse sits on a brick or block wall (typically 2-3 courses high) instead of an aluminium base. This design provides 30-40% better insulation, creates a traditional appearance, and offers a more solid, permanent structure. The Elite Thyme's 762mm wall height is the sweet spot — high enough for thermal benefits but low enough to maintain natural light at ground level.
-
How much does an Elite Thyme 6ft greenhouse cost?
Prices start for the 6x4 model and increase to approximately £2,299 for the largest 6x20 size. Your exact price depends on length, any additional vents, and which accessories you select. All prices include VAT and free delivery to UK mainland addresses. The 20 Year Warranty is included as standard across the range.
-
Do I need professional installation or can I build it myself?
You can definitely self-install if you're comfortable with DIY and have a helper — the aluminium frame sections bolt together using clear instructions. However, the dwarf wall must be built first, and most customers hire a local builder for this stage. Our UK installation service can handle everything from wall construction to greenhouse assembly if you'd prefer a turnkey solution.
-
What size options are available in the 6ft wide range?
All Elite Thyme 6ft models are 6ft 2" wide externally. You can choose lengths from 4ft to 20ft in 2ft increments: 6x4, 6x6, 6x8, 6x10, 6x12, 6x14, 6x16, 6x18, and 6x20. The 6x8 and 6x10 are the most popular for typical UK gardens and allotments. Eaves height remains consistent at 4ft 7", with a ridge height of 7ft 11".
-
How do I add accessories like staging or extra vents?
On each greenhouse product page, we list all compatible accessories — from staging and shelving to extra vents and rainwater kits. You can select everything you need in one place, ensuring it's perfectly tailored to your chosen greenhouse model before you add it to your basket.
-
How long does delivery take and what's included in the warranty?
Standard delivery takes 6-8 weeks from order, though we'll give you a more specific timeframe at checkout. The 20 Year Warranty covers manufacturing defects and frame corrosion. Free delivery includes kerbside drop — if you need the delivery driver to move panels to your back garden, there's usually a small additional charge. Check our Greenhouse Buyers Guide for full warranty details and preparation tips.
