An Aluminium Greenhouse and Garden Store with Natural Accoya Detailing

Our greenhouse with built-in storage combines a bright growing area, a separate storage room and the warmth of natural Accoya® wood in one garden building. It is designed for gardens where a stand-alone greenhouse and separate shed would occupy too much space or look disconnected. The divided interior gives each area a clear purpose: daylight for cultivation and an enclosed room for gardening equipment and supplies.

We offer this Accoya Wood Fusion version in a broad choice of sizes, allowing you to compare the proportion and position of each zone against your site. Begin with the jobs the building needs to support, then check whether the proposed paths, benches and shelving will leave both areas comfortable to use. If enclosed capacity is your main priority, explore our wider greenhouses with storage range as well.

Growing space, storage and natural timber in one structure

This is more than a Classic greenhouse with decorative timber added. The enclosed room provides practical garden storage, while the Accoya elements give that part of the building a warmer appearance than a fully glazed wall. This can be especially important when the greenhouse is visible from the house, terrace or main garden path. When choosing a configuration, consider how the building will look and work as well as the amount of growing space it provides.

Plan the layout around what you want to grow and store

Treat the greenhouse and storage room as connected work areas rather than one room with a cupboard attached. Plan the route between stored equipment, benches and containers so routine jobs can be completed without crossing cluttered paths. Keep door movement and access to the roof vents unobstructed, and reserve enough room to carry compost, trays or large pots comfortably between the two zones.

Classic greenhouse dimensions and construction

The model retains the established Classic greenhouse shape while adding a separate storage section and Accoya detailing. It is rated for wind speeds up to 30 m/s and a snow load of 210 kg/m². The aluminium structure is covered by a comprehensive 12-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty terms. A correctly prepared foundation, secure installation and routine maintenance remain essential, so review those terms and the instructions for your chosen configuration before work begins.

Using the greenhouse through wet and changeable weather

Wet tools, muddy pots and open bags of growing media can quickly make a greenhouse untidy. The separate storage section keeps them close without taking up valuable growing space. Allow wet equipment to drain or dry before placing it on shelves, and do not pack damp textiles tightly together. Sweep away soil and leaves regularly so they do not hold moisture or interfere with the sliding-door track.

Integrated gutters collect roof run-off and help manage water around the structure. Inspect the channels and outlets regularly, removing leaves and debris before they restrict the flow. Check where the discharged water goes as well: it should not pool beside the foundation or run across the approach path. Keeping the surrounding ground clear also makes developing drainage problems easier to spot.

Plan the storage layout around what you actually need to store

The best arrangement depends on how you garden. Before fitting shelves or racks, measure the longest tools, largest trays and bulkiest bags you intend to store. This helps prevent shelves being placed at awkward heights or too close together. Reserve floor-level space for stable, heavy items and use the walls for lighter equipment that can be secured properly.

Arrange storage around the gardening jobs you do most

Think through a typical session: collect tools, prepare pots, transplant seedlings, water, clean up and put everything away. Arrange the storage room to follow this order. Pots and labels can sit with other propagation supplies, while cleaning equipment can be kept near the exit. A clear sequence is more useful than filling every wall because it allows each task to be completed without repeatedly moving stored objects.

Use the first few gardening sessions to test where each category belongs before treating any storage position as permanent. If an item is repeatedly left in the growing area, move its designated place closer to where it is used. Remove empty packaging and return surplus seasonal items to their allotted shelf so the room continues to support the way you work.

Give fertilisers, treatments and sharp tools their own stable storage positions. Retain original labels and follow each product’s instructions, including any requirement to separate particular materials or restrict access. The built-in room keeps these items conveniently close, but they still need to be stored and handled as their manufacturers direct.

Choose the right balance of growing and storage space

A gardener with a large tool collection may value the enclosed room most, while someone growing tomatoes, cucumbers or seedlings may prioritise the glazed area. Consider both needs before choosing a configuration. Mark out the proposed footprint, then sketch the benches, shelving and paths inside it. Include the room required by large containers and mature plants, not just their size at planting time. This gives a more realistic comparison than looking only at the building’s external area.

The narrower model family is better suited to tighter sites, while the wider family offers greater flexibility for central paths, side benches and larger containers. The wider models can also accommodate double sliding doors where the relevant wall is sufficiently wide. Compare the selected configuration with your proposed interior layout and check that its listed door height suits any tall tools or bulky supplies you need to move.

Check shelving depth as carefully as its length, because deep fittings can reduce usable floor space quickly. Draw each unit at its intended depth on your layout rather than representing it as a line against the wall. In the growing area, account for the space plants will occupy at maturity so they do not press against vents or take over the path.

Before ordering, review our purchase and delivery information.

Prepare one accurate foundation for the whole structure

The greenhouse and storage room share one structure, so the base must be level and accurate across the entire footprint. Confirm the external measurements of the exact size ordered before preparing the site. A level support helps the doors run correctly, keeps the frame aligned and provides a sound base for the glazing. Leave enough access around the outside for cleaning and maintenance rather than placing fixed obstacles against every side.

Check the route from kerbside delivery to the installation site, particularly for long aluminium profiles and glazing. Measure gates, narrow side passages, corners, steps and overhead obstructions before delivery. Identify a level temporary area where components can be sorted without being laid in mud or blocking household access. Protect the glazing and profiles from damage while they await assembly. Careful route planning is especially important for a greenhouse behind a terraced property or in a garden accessible only through the house.

Use the installation information for the exact configuration throughout site preparation and assembly, as dimensions from another model may not apply. Check drainage around the footprint before assembly and make sure water will not collect beneath the entrances or beside the base. Set aside sufficient working room and arrange suitable help to handle the frame and glazing safely during installation.

The ordering process is explained in How to Order.

Why choose this model rather than a standard Classic greenhouse or a separate shed?

A standard Classic greenhouse uses its entire footprint for cultivation. Choose that format when almost all the available space should be devoted to plants and your tools already have a convenient home elsewhere. It may be the better choice when growing capacity matters more than enclosed storage.

A separate shed provides independent storage and may suit a garden where equipment needs to be kept away from the greenhouse. However, it requires another footprint and supporting surface, as well as a separate decision about its position and appearance. Moving between the two buildings also becomes part of each gardening session.

The Accoya Storage Greenhouse brings the two uses together in one coordinated building. Choose it when you want supplies immediately beside the growing area, equipment kept apart from crops and a consistent overall appearance. It will not suit every gardener, but it offers a practical alternative when the relationship between growing and storage should be planned from the start.
