Greenhouse with integrated storage and visible Accoya wood elements
Classic aluminum greenhouse for plants, garden tools and supplies
Our greenhouse with integrated storage pairs a bright growing space with a separate storage room and visible natural Accoya® wood elements. Both spaces sit beneath one roof, so a separate garden shed elsewhere in the yard is unnecessary and tools remain close at hand. The functions stay clearly divided: the light-filled area is for plants, while tools, pots and supplies are kept in the storage room.
The Accoya wood model is available in a wide range of sizes . Choose either tempered safety glass or polycarbonate glazing. Consider how much room you need for crops and how much for tools, pots and supplies. Before configuring, list your planned plants, existing equipment and preferred interior layout. For a general introduction to this type of layout, see our article Aluminum Greenhouse with Integrated Storage.
Grow and store under one roof
Light for plants, with a dedicated room for tools and supplies
The integrated storage room streamlines greenhouse work. Pots, tools, growing media and watering equipment stay where they are used. During seed-starting, seedling transplanting, repotting and routine care, you avoid repeated trips to the house or a distant shed. Gather materials before starting, then return them to storage outside the growing area.
This leaves a continuous growing area for beds, containers and potting benches. Clear walkways make tending and cleaning easier. Items that need neither light nor greenhouse conditions are better kept in the storage room. For products sensitive to temperature or humidity, check their individual storage instructions before using this location.

What sets this model apart
Grow plants, store garden equipment and create a cohesive garden setting
The storage room is part of the greenhouse structure rather than an add-on. Aluminum profiles and visible Accoya wood give the growing and storage areas a consistent appearance. Natural grain and individual colour variation warm up the clean-lined metal frame.
Integrated storage
The separate room can be arranged with shelves, holders and standing space for garden equipment. This keeps stored items away from the growing-area glazing while leaving tools and consumables close by.
Space divided around real needs
The selected size determines how growing and storage space can be balanced. Work out the footprint needed for each area separately, then map it onto the usable floor plan. Leave enough clearance in front of shelves and benches for retrieving items, repotting and moving through the space.
Accoya wood as a natural contrast
The natural wood deliberately offsets the aluminum profiles and smooth glazing. Coordinate the RAL colour with your home, garden surroundings, visible grain and the original tone of untreated Accoya wood.
Accessible exterior areas
Leave sufficient clear space around the greenhouse. It keeps glazing, gutters and exterior surfaces accessible for cleaning and maintenance, while allowing entrances to be used without obstructions.
Accoya wood in detail
Accoya: modified real wood for visible outdoor use
Accoya is radiata pine modified to the core through acetylation. The process greatly reduces how much moisture the wood can absorb while preserving the grain and natural colour variation of real wood. Set against precise aluminum profiles, that visible texture keeps the building from feeling purely utilitarian.
Lower water absorption improves dimensional stability and resistance to decay. Accoya achieves durability class 1.
Bloomcabin uses untreated Accoya, leaving its grain and natural colour differences visible. With outdoor exposure, the initial colour gradually changes and may become silvery grey. Allow for this natural weathering when choosing the aluminum-profile colour. Remove dirt regularly and gently, and avoid contact points that remain wet. Use cleaners, care products or coatings only where the relevant care guidance confirms they are suitable for Accoya.

Plan growing and storage areas together
Set up both spaces around your usual work routine
Treat the structure as 2 connected rooms with distinct roles. Start with the future routine rather than individual shelves or benches: open the door, collect materials, care for plants, remove waste and put equipment away. Keep those routes clear. Doors must not strike equipment, and work surfaces should be reachable without stepping over irrigation lines, containers or floor edges.
Growing area
Use this zone for crops and tasks that need daylight and greenhouse conditions. Position tall plants so they do not unnecessarily shade smaller crops. Potting benches should not interfere with door movement or roof-vent operation. Remember that plants can become much larger over the season than they are at the start.
✓ Vegetable beds and plant containers
✓ Propagation and potting benches
✓ Tomatoes, cucumbers and climbing plants
✓ Watering and repotting
Storage area
Keep items here that do not require daylight. Before fitting out the room, decide what loads will stand on the floor and what can safely go on shelves or suitable holders. Liquids need stable standing surfaces. Food, flammable materials and other sensitive products belong here only where their own storage directions allow it.
✓ Hand tools and long-handled tools
✓ Pots, trays and labels
✓ Growing media, fertilizer and garden consumables
✓ Cushions and seasonal accessories
Technical details
Sizes, heights, glazing and construction at a glance
The range is divided into 2 model families. Alongside exterior dimensions, door and ridge height matter: they affect access, the sense of space and room for taller plants, long-handled tools and planned furnishings.
01. Size configurations
There are 20 size configurations in total. Compare the usable floor plan and possible division between growing and storage space, not only the unoccupied area in your yard.
02. Widths
The 2 model families are 235 cm or 310 cm wide. In addition to the building width, leave enough space around the outside for assembly, cleaning and maintenance.
03. 235 cm models
The 235 cm-wide models have a ridge height of 232 cm and a door height of 165 cm. Before choosing, measure tall equipment and furnishings that must pass through the doorway.
04. 310 cm models
The 310 cm-wide model family has a ridge height of 267 cm and a door height of 185 cm. Consider the larger interior volume when placing tall crops and planning regular ventilation.
05. Glazing
Choose polycarbonate or 4 mm tempered safety glass. Glass keeps plants and the interior clearly visible. Polycarbonate changes the quality of light and provides greater visual screening. Select the transparency and light effect that suit the growing area, storage room and garden location.
06. Construction
The construction includes aluminum profiles, roof vents, an integrated gutter system and an aluminum base. Depending on the version, it has either a single or double sliding door. The greenhouse is designed for wind speeds of 30 m/s and a snow load of 210 kg/m². Correct assembly, secure anchoring and intended use are required. Treat the wind and snow figures as product specifications rather than proof that the structure suits every Canadian site; have local snow, wind, foundation and anchoring conditions assessed. The greenhouse carries a 12-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
Through the gardening season
A well-organized workspace from spring through season’s end
In spring, propagation trays, pots and growing media often take priority; summer brings watering equipment and care tools; later come harvest containers and cleaning supplies. Adjust this rotation to your region’s actual growing season and freeze conditions, which vary widely across Canada. Avoid permanently assigning every surface to rarely used items; instead, create areas that can be repurposed without emptying the entire room. Simple labels make it easier to replenish supplies and remove damaged tools in good time.
Roof vents support air exchange and help release excess heat and humidity from the growing area. Keep them accessible and operate them according to conditions. Watch for lingering moisture, particularly after watering. The integrated gutter system carries rainwater away from the roof. Plan drainage so water does not collect at the base, wash out paths or leave adjacent components wet.

Keep storage organized
Allocate room sensibly for equipment, pots and seasonal accessories
Organize the room by weight, frequency of use and cleaning needs. Before installing shelves, reserve free floor space for bulky equipment. Slim holders work well for tools that might otherwise fall over. Keep small items in closed, clearly labelled containers, provided their contents suit the storage-room temperatures.
Store tools within easy reach
Pruners, gloves and small care tools are quickly accessible near the transition to the growing area. Long-handled tools need secure holders so they cannot fall and their points or blades do not project into the walkway. Remove soil after use and, where possible, let damp tools dry before putting them away.
Pots, growing media and small items
Stack empty pots only to a height that allows safe removal. Store growing media and fertilizer in suitable, clearly labelled packaging or containers, following the manufacturer’s directions. A wipe-clean tray for labels, ties and seed supplies keeps small items separate from larger stores.
Seasonal accessories
Seasonal garden accessories may be kept in the storage area if they suit its conditions. Textiles must be completely dry before storage, while other items should be clean. The room is neither climate-controlled nor frost-proof, so sensitive products need a location that meets their own requirements.
Keep the growing area clear
A tidy growing area makes care, cleaning and inspection easier. Leaves, plant debris and spilled growing media can be removed more quickly when equipment is not in the way. When crops are accessible from several sides, diseases, pest activity and irrigation issues are easier to spot early.
Set up for comfort and clarity
Keep frequently used items handy and heavy items low
Give every frequently used tool and accessory a fixed, accessible place. It becomes easy to see what is ready for use and what needs cleaning or replenishing. Do not use the passage as temporary storage: items left there interrupt work and increase trip hazards.
Keep commonly used items near the growing area, roughly between knee and shoulder height. Light, infrequently used items can go higher. Place heavy bags and equipment low down so they do not need to be lifted overhead. Leave enough room in front of shelves to remove items, and ensure sharp-edged fittings do not protrude into movement areas.
Shelves and wall holders use the room height but may be attached only to components designed for them. Confirm suitable fixing points before drilling. Free-standing shelves must be stable and must not obstruct the sliding door or inspection of the base, glazing and connections.
Choose the right size
Select size around crops, furnishings and circulation space
Begin with 2 requirement lists. For the growing area, note beds, benches, containers and the mature height of intended crops. For storage, list large equipment, supplies and the shelf lengths needed. Draw both to scale on the floor plans for the models under consideration. This reveals whether a size fits the yard but creates cramped routes or hard-to-reach corners in daily use.
The narrower series supports compact planning and has lower height measurements. The wider series provides more room to move and may include a double sliding door, depending on the version. Check garden access too: a larger door helps only if the path in front of it is wide and level enough for the equipment you intend to use.
Test your layout with doors open, worktables in use and plants at full maturity. Shelves must not conceal handles or make vents difficult to operate. Include a clear area where a pot can be set down briefly or a bag opened without blocking the main route.

Foundation and assembly
Prepare the location, foundation and drainage carefully
The growing and storage areas share a common structure. The base must therefore be level, stable, square and built to the specified dimensions across the complete footprint. Even small deviations can affect the alignment of profiles, glazing and sliding doors. Before work starts, check the ground, water runoff and possible underground services. Ask the local permit authority whether zoning or a building permit applies, and ask the relevant provincial or territorial authority which codes and regulations apply at the site. If unsure, have a qualified professional assess the appropriate foundation for your property.
Plan transport from the delivery point to the assembly site as well. Measure gates, passages, turns and steps. At the site, provide a clean, orderly place to lay out profiles, wood components and glazing. Delicate parts must not be stepped on or soiled, and they must be secured so the wind cannot catch them.
The integrated aluminum base assists assembly but does not replace a suitable foundation or secure anchoring. Assemble the greenhouse according to the supplied instructions and recheck diagonals, plumb alignment and level before fitting the glazing. Altering load-bearing or bracing components may impair the entire structure. Arrange qualified help for any work you cannot complete safely.

Which solution suits your garden?
When the combined option makes more sense than 2 separate buildings
A Classic greenhouse without integrated storage suits gardeners who want to dedicate almost all floor space to plants and already have suitable storage elsewhere. Tools and supplies must then be incorporated into daily tasks from that external location.
A separate garden shed can be sized independently of the greenhouse and placed elsewhere. It requires a second area, its own base and extra trips between buildings. The position and appearance of both structures must also work together in the garden. This may be the right solution for very large equipment or where the two functions need complete separation.
The Accoya greenhouse with storage suits gardens where short work routes and a unified appearance matter more than the greatest possible growing area. Everyday greenhouse supplies remain on site without requiring another building. Before ordering, check that the storage room is large enough for your existing equipment. If it is undersized, items will eventually return to the growing area.
Questions about the greenhouse with storage
Frequently asked planning and use questions
How do I plan the right division?
Draw beds, benches, shelves, equipment and clear routes on the floor plan. Choose the version in which both areas work without blocking doors, vents or walkways.
What is the integrated storage room for?
It is intended for suitable garden tools, pots, plant accessories and consumables to be stored separately from the bright growing area. Whether a particular product may be stored there depends on its individual storage directions.
Why is Accoya wood used?
Accoya combines the natural grain of real wood with high dimensional stability. Acetylated radiata pine absorbs less moisture and is therefore more resistant to moisture-related decay.
How do I care for untreated Accoya wood?
Remove dirt regularly using gentle products suitable for Accoya, and avoid contact points that stay wet. If considering a coating, follow the applicable care guidance. The possible silvery-grey change is part of the natural weathering of untreated wood.
How do glass and polycarbonate differ?
Tempered safety glass gives a clear view of plants and the interior. Polycarbonate produces a different light effect and offers greater visual screening. Choose glazing according to how transparent you want the growing and storage areas to appear.
How should I use the roof vents?
Open and close roof vents according to the greenhouse temperature, sun exposure and humidity. They must remain freely accessible. Monitor indoor conditions regularly, as ventilation needs change through the season.
Can I attach shelves and holders to the structure?
Only to components suitable for that purpose. Confirm permitted fixing points before drilling. Free-standing shelves must be stable and must not obstruct the sliding doors or block access to the glazing, base or connections.
Where can I find care and ordering advice?
Advice on gentle cleaning and checking glazing, profiles, sliding doors, roof vents, gutters and visible connections is available on the Useful Information page; information about the ordering process is on the Ordering page.
