Description
Greenhouse Overview
The Elite Sanctuary 600 is designed for gardeners who refuse to compromise on strength or specification, even within a compact footprint. Built around the substantial Core-Vect Titan Bar system, this greenhouse offers superior structural integrity compared to standard models, ensuring it can withstand challenging weather conditions. The design prioritises internal volume; the extra-high eaves not only create an airy atmosphere but also accommodate taller plant varieties comfortably. Standard inclusion of toughened glass throughout ensures safety and durability, providing a clear view of your garden while allowing maximum light transmission for your crops.
Accessibility and ease of use are central to the Sanctuary’s design. The structure sits on a sturdy integral aluminium base with dropped doors, eliminating the need for a high step-over and making it ideal for wheelbarrow access or for those with limited mobility. To help resist moisture ingress and protect the glazing spring clips, the greenhouse is fitted with bar capping as standard. This streamlined finish also enhances the exterior's aesthetic, ensuring the structure looks as professional as it performs.
Climate control is managed effortlessly through a comprehensive ventilation package. The Sanctuary 6x6 includes two 5-blade manual louvre vents for low-level air intake, paired with an Elite Auto Roof Vent on every roof opening. This combination creates a "chimney effect," drawing in fresh air and allowing warm air to escape automatically, regulating the internal temperature without constant monitoring. Whether you are overwintering tender plants or starting seedlings in spring, the Sanctuary provides a reliable, high-specification environment for year-round gardening.

The Titan Bar
At the core of The Elite Sanctuary's strength is the Titan bar – Elite’s strongest greenhouse frame to date. Designed with increased aluminium content, the Titan bar creates a profile far more robust than standard frames, outperforming many leading competitors.
Despite its power, the design retains a clean, modern look. Engineered to withstand unpredictable British weather, the Titan bar ensures your greenhouse remains solid, stable, and stylish for years. It’s a structure you can trust in the toughest conditions without compromising elegance.
Flexible Door Positioning and Additional Doors
The Elite Sanctuary allows you to design the structure around your garden layout rather than the other way around. You can position the standard double doors on either the gable end or either of the lengths, making them ideal for patios, lean-to installations, or areas with limited access.
Thanks to the extra high eaves, you also have the option to add an additional door on either of the sides or back to create a dual-access thoroughfare. This setup significantly enhances workflow and cross-ventilation, helping excess heat escape quickly during summer. Please note that while single doors can be placed on the sides of the 6x6 models, specifying double doors on the length requires a greenhouse with a minimum length of 8’.
Extra-High Eaves for Greater Space & Flexible Door Positioning
The Elite Sanctuary’s extra-high eaves are a standout feature, creating a far more spacious and comfortable growing environment with increased headroom throughout. This enhanced height not only improves airflow and usability but also allows for far greater flexibility when positioning the doors. Unlike standard greenhouses, doors can be located on the front, rear, or along either side, giving you the freedom to design the layout around your garden space, access points, and preferred workflow.
Bespoke Greenhouse Options
You can customise this aluminium greenhouse with a range of bespoke options to suit your exact requirements. Lengths are available in unlimited 2ft increments, allowing you to extend the building to your preferred size, while the width remains fixed.
The Elite range offers a wide choice of standard sizes, but if none are quite right, simply let us know your desired length and we can tailor it to your specification. For added flexibility, optional partitions and additional doors can be positioned at the rear or along either side. Unique to the Elite Sanctuary range is the ability to position doors along the length, giving you even greater freedom to design a growing space that works perfectly for you.

The 20 Year Elite Guarantee
Every Elite Greenhouse comes with a 20-year frame guarantee as standard, a true mark of confidence in their craftsmanship. Backed by a dedicated team passionate about quality, each greenhouse is designed to bring lasting enjoyment and to stand proudly in your garden for a lifetime.
At elbec, we’re proud to have partnered with Elite for over 20 years, also showcasing their exceptional greenhouses at our showsite and sharing their heritage of excellence with our customers.
Recommended BaseTypes
When installing your Elite Sanctuary Greenhouse, choosing the right base is key for stability and long-lasting performance. A popular option is to create a level, paved or concrete area. We recommend making the base slightly larger than the greenhouse dimensions, as the listed sizes are nominal and the actual structure can be a few inches bigger. Always refer to the metric measurements in the specification table to get the correct size.
For example, an 8’x6’ greenhouse is best suited to a slab area of around 10’x8’. This not only ensures a proper fit but also provides extra room for placing water butts and makes cleaning and maintenance more accessible.
Easy Assembly & Professional Installation Options
Every Elite Aluminium Greenhouse is designed to make set-up as easy as possible. All fixtures and fittings are included, and the detailed instructions walk you through each step. With only a few standard tools, most customers can assemble their greenhouse over a weekend, the pace depends on your skills, confidence, and how many helping hands you have.
If you’d rather not build it yourself, we offer access to professional third-party installers. This service gives you peace of mind that your greenhouse will be assembled correctly and ready to enjoy. Simply contact us for details of recommended fitters in your area.
Aluminium Greenhouse Maintenance
Maintenance and care are essential for prolonging the lifespan of your Elite Greenhouse. The upkeep is simple but can ensure your greenhouse serves you for many years, even decades. Cleaning your greenhouse is crucial in enhancing the plant-growing environment by eliminating algae, moss, and grime. It allows more light in and also helps in managing pests and diseases.
To maintain your greenhouse effectively, start by temporarily relocating your plants. Use a brush to clean tabletops, remove cobwebs from corners, and eliminate floor debris. Ensuring clean windows inside and outside is vital for maximising light levels. You can clean the glass, aluminium, and plastic surfaces with a microfibre cloth, using hot, soapy water or a commercial greenhouse cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
