Our premium timber Greenhouse – a true garden room

 

The Sanctuary is our most refined greenhouse: a solid, fully enclosed timber structure designed to be both highly functional and genuinely beautiful. Inspired by the classic proportions of traditional greenhouses and re-imagined with Nutopia’s focus on strength, usability, and longevity, it’s a greenhouse you’ll love being in year-round.

 

Built from quality materials and engineered for New Zealand conditions, Sanctuary is designed to withstand wind, weather, and time. Designed and engineered by a professional who develops buildings for the NZ Army, it offers a level of robustness rarely seen in residential greenhouses.

 

Clad in premium twinwall polycarbonate, Sanctuary provides excellent insulation and light transmission — similar to double glazing — creating a warm, stable growing environment through the cooler months.

    Sam & Gemma

  • We are extremely pleased with our greenhouse. Nutopia has done an amazing job with fantastic craftsmanship with tight fittings and a great look. It is a lot warmer in the structure, and looks looks great on our property. Nutopia worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted, and to hold up to our ultra high wind zone here in the Wairarapa.

Why buy a Nutopia Greenhouse?

Our greenhouses are strong and weather proof

 

Built with long lasting materials: for any timber touching the ground we use H4 Treated Pine, in accordance with the NZ building code. All hardware and fixtures are Galvanised. We use Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets which have 99.5% UV protection.

Our greenhouses are built to order and are adaptable

 

Nutopia Greenhouses are available in a range of sizes, plus you can choose your own Stain and Paint options, and add Garden Beds, a Potting Bench and a Automated Roof Vent. And because it it made of strong timber, you can also make your own additions eg benches, shelving, trellis, tool racks, shade house.

Full Installation Available

 

Thats right, you don’t have to try to put these up yourself or organising someone to do it for you, happy days! Reasonably easy access and a level site is required. Available to most regions, check out our Installers locations here.

You can choose Macrocarpa Timber

 

Macrocarpa is one of the most naturally durable softwoods grown in NZ, and is resistant to insect and borer attack. It contains natural oils that give it the same treatment ratio as H3.2. Macrocarpa will weather to a beautiful soft silver grey.

Please note that Macrocapra isn’t always available, please enquire
