Description
Elite 8ft Featured Greenhouse
The Elite 8ft Featured Dwarf Wall Greenhouse is an exceptional choice for gardeners looking to enhance their gardening experience while maintaining a stylish and functional structure. The greenhouse will fit seamlessly into a dwarf wall height of 762mm, and the double doors are then dropped into the wall opening, creating a low threshold access. This design allows for an eaves height that combines brickwork with aluminium and glazing, creating a unique look reminiscent of traditional greenhouses, without the high maintenance of wooden structures.
The Featured Dwarf Wall model is also available in 6ft wide (see 6ft Featured Dwarf Wall).
The greenhouse is available in unlimited lengths.
Base:
When constructing a wall please only build your brick base once you have an official base plan from Elite Greenhouses. This will be actioned by us, once we receive your order and emailed to you.
Doors:
The greenhouse is supplied with double dropped doors, with a handle, lock and key.
Glass:
The greenhouse is equipped with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard.
Roof Vents & Louvres:
The 8ft Featured greenhouse has a minimum of one manual roof vent. The number increases with the size of greenhouse:
- 6ft long with one roof vent
- 8ft, 10ft & 12ft long with two roof vents
- 14ft long with three roof vents
- 16ft long with four roof vents
- 18ft long with five roof vents
- 20ft long with six roof vents
Automatic Ventilation:
Automatic roof vent openers can also be added to your order. The automated openers will ensure that your vents open and close automatically, depending on the temperature, keeping your plants ventilated appropriately.
Shelving/Staging:
Staging and shelving is available in aluminium, or any of the Elite powder-coated finishes. For the 8ft Featured Dwarf Wall, the 7-slat is recommended for the staging, and the 2-slat for the eye-level shelf.
Rainwater Collection:
The greenhouse is provided with integral gutters that collect rainwater from the roof, preventing runoff and allowing for efficient collection. To maximise the effectiveness of the integral gutters, we offer optional rainwater kits. The standard rainwater kit includes downpipes that connect directly to the integral gutters and collect rainwater into storage tanks or water butts. Also available is the ‘rainwater kit to one gutter‘ option, allowing users to funnel rainwater from two separate gutters into a single downpipe, ensuring that both sides of the greenhouse contribute to a centralised storage system/water butt. It is important to note that this system can only be used at the rear of a greenhouse.
Bar Capping:
Bar capping is optional. It provides a stronger hold for the glass against the frame, plus the rubber fin makes for a better water seal and is a way of hiding the clips, providing a neater finish on your greenhouse. Bar capping can not be used on horticultural glass.
Cantilevers
Cantilevers are supplied as standard with the 8ft Featured greenhouse. They are used as eave and/or ridge bracing. They add strength to greenhouse framework by providing additional support and rigidity. The cantilevers distribute the weight and pressure more evenly across the framework, which can be useful in areas with high wind or snow loads.
Powder Coating:
Greenhouses are supplied in aluminium as standard. However, Elite have a varied range of powder-coated colours to choose from; mocha, brown, graphite, white, olive, green, black, berry, stone and navy. See the Powder Coating Tab for further information.
Cresting & Finials:
Cresting & Finials can be added to the Elite 8ft Featured greenhouse and are used to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. Cresting refers to ornamental ridge tiles or other decorative elements along the ridge of a roof, while finials are decorative ornaments typically found at the gable top. They can also serve as a deterrent against cats and birds. They are provided in aluminium as standard, or can be powder coated to match your greenhouse.

What’s not to love about this greenhouse? One of our favourites, the price is very reasonable, but do bear in mind that there are additional costs associated with building a dwarf wall to accommodate this greenhouse, but the final result is just stunning. It’s really important that you don’t build the wall before you’ve received the base plan from Elite – there is no forgiveness in these measurements!
