Why the six-sided format works beautifully outdoors

A greenhouse can organise the garden, create a retreat and extend the growing season as well as protect plants. The Bloomcabin Hexagon Greenhouse has a pavilion-like, six-sided interior with light from every direction, open sightlines and flexible places for plants or furniture. Separate propagation and tending zones while keeping room for a bistro table, two chairs or a compact lounge. Unlike a long rectangle, the Hexagon avoids a tunnel-like feel and forms a welcoming, rounded room.

Durability is integral to the concept: the aluminium frame resists corrosion and warping, while toughened glass stays clear and refined. Designed to be visible, the greenhouse becomes a garden focal point rather than something to conceal.

Design and construction: premium details for everyday use

Lasting aluminium frame

The accurately made aluminium structure combines strong support with low maintenance. Through humid coastal conditions, changing seasons and summer heat, aluminium remains stable, rust-free and durable.

4 mm toughened safety glass

Clear glazing helps when checking young plants or enjoying the garden from inside. Toughened safety glass is stronger than ordinary float glass and, if damaged, breaks into small blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. Unlike some plastics, glass neither yellows nor clouds with age.

Roof ventilation

Integrated roof vents release built-up heat and aid cross-ventilation. In warm periods they help regulate temperature, with automatic openers or a small circulation fan available as additions.

Rainwater management

Perimeter gutters direct rainwater away and connect to water tanks, making use of rainfall while keeping the base drier and tidier.

Matching base included

The supplied aluminium base assists alignment, maintains correct dimensions and lifts the lower glass edge above splashback, saving assembly time and supporting a neat, durable installation.

In brief
Aluminium frame • 4 mm toughened safety glass • Roof vents • Integrated gutters • Aluminium base included.

Sizes and spatial feel – compact outside, generous within

The hexagonal layout uses its footprint efficiently, creating an airy, almost circular interior. Two generously sized models suit courtyards, suburban blocks and larger properties. Their proportions accommodate climbing crops, hanging pots or discreet lighting while keeping the exterior garden-friendly.

Comfortable-height doors and a high ridge permit upright work and access for shelving, benches and plant tables. Growing, display and relaxation can therefore share one versatile space.

Australian uses: more than growing space

Earlier sowing, longer seasons

Begin with propagation trays in late winter where local conditions allow, harden off seedlings under cover and continue harvesting into autumn. Light entering through several facets helps plants benefit throughout the day.

Garden retreat

Two armchairs and a small table turn the greenhouse into a favourite retreat: bright in cooler weather, ventilated in summer, and suited to reading, tea or conversation among plants.

Special plant collections

Safety glass showcases the structure and colour of citrus, camellias, succulents or scented pelargoniums. Arrange shelves, climbing supports and open areas as needed.

Entertain with style

Subtle string lights, a tray and glasses transform the Hexagon into a sheltered, atmospheric pavilion for small garden gatherings.

Tip: pair roof vents with automatic openers and consider a small, safe heater for cool nights to protect seedlings and sensitive varieties.

Australian purchase: value, price and delivery

Bloomcabin offers quality equipment online without compulsory extras. The included base, gutters and vents support fair value. Check promotions and estimated delivery timing at checkout before arranging helpers and foundations. Delivery is free for most products; confirm eligibility and handling terms.

Australian approvals vary by site. Ask your state or territory and council about zoning, use, dimensions, services and design. In NSW, exempt development avoids planning and building approval only if every applicable standard is met. Check site constraints, certification and installation separately.

Location, base and assembly – preparing well

Years of use begin with a level, load-bearing, well-drained foundation. Options include compacted crushed rock with paving, slab paving or a concrete pad with slight fall. Ensure accurate levelling and a clean junction with the supplied aluminium base.

Dry-fit the base: Check diagonals, angles and level, then anchor it as instructed.
Build side by side: Position the frame first; align and tighten it only after closing the hexagon.
Glazing: Choose calm, dry weather; prepare gloves, suction cups and soft supports.
Fit vents early: This gives easier access to hardware; automatic openers can follow later.
People and tools: Two can manage; three ease glazing. Use a torque driver, level, rubber mallet and stable ladder.

Finally, connect gutters to tanks, arrange shelving around the facets and add non-slip paths if needed. An outdoor rug and warm-white light create a homely feel.

Year-round care and value

Wash aluminium seasonally with mild cleaner. Inspect fasteners yearly, keep roof vents free and clear gutters in autumn. Clean safety glass with a soft sponge, never harsh abrasives. After snowfall, relieve facets with a soft broom if needed.

Rotate crops through the year: put sun-loving plants by the brightest facets, herbs and salads in gentler light, and sensitive ornamentals near discreet warmth.

Comparison: Hexagon and alternatives

Rectangular kits

Rectangular kits suit linear beds but may feel corridor-like. The Hexagon creates a more sociable, spacious setting for propagation and relaxing.

Fabric shelters

Fabric shelters cost less but may age quickly and look utilitarian. Aluminium and safety glass offer clear views, durability and a garden-worthy design rather than something hidden behind the garage.

Polycarbonate comparison

Polycarbonate insulates well but can lose brilliance over time. Glass looks better when the greenhouse serves as both garden room and workspace.

Australian checklist

Clearance: Allow 60–90 cm around it for cleaning, gutters and maintenance.
Orientation: Orient for local sun and heat; use hedges or fences as windbreaks.
Water and power: A nearby outdoor tap and RCD-protected power point simplify use.
Climate comfort: Automatic vent openers and a circulation fan help in heat; use safe supplementary heating during cold snaps.
Delivery window: After confirmation, schedule base work and helpers; store glass safely upright.
Extras: Add benches, staging, supports, irrigation, tank, lighting and shade as needed.
