Why the six-sided format works so well

A greenhouse can do more than shelter plants: it structures the garden, creates a place to linger and extends the growing season. The six-sided Bloomcabin Hexagon Greenhouse feels like a pavilion, with light from every direction, open sightlines and flexible furnishing space. There is room for propagation and plant care alongside a bistro table, two chairs or a small lounge. Unlike a long rectangle, the Hexagon avoids a tunnel-like feel, creating an open, welcoming place to spend time.

The durable concept combines an aluminium frame that resists corrosion and distortion with toughened safety glass that stays clear. Designed to be seen, the greenhouse can become a focal point that enhances the garden instead of hiding at its edge.

Design & build: premium details that matter every day

Aluminium frame built for the long term

The precisely made aluminium structure combines strong stability with low maintenance. In Malta’s sunny, coastal and occasionally wet conditions, aluminium remains dimensionally stable, rust-free and durable.

4 mm toughened safety glass

Clear views matter when checking young plants or enjoying the garden. Toughened safety glass is considerably more resistant than ordinary float glass and, if broken, forms small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards. Unlike some plastics, glass also avoids yellowing and cloudiness over time.

Roof vents & air circulation

Integrated roof vents release heat and aid cross-ventilation. During warm periods, automatic openers or a small circulation fan can make temperature control easier.

Gutters & water management

Surrounding gutters channel rainwater away and can connect to water butts, using rainfall efficiently while helping the base remain clean and dry.

Matching base included

The supplied aluminium base aids alignment, keeps dimensions accurate and raises the lower glass edge above splash water. This saves installation time and supports a neat, durable assembly.

Sizes & spatial effect – compact outside, generous inside

The six-sided geometry uses the footprint efficiently while creating an airy, almost circular feeling inside. Depending on the model, two generous versions are available, suited to town gardens, compact plots and larger properties. Well-considered proportions provide height for climbing plants, hanging pots or discreet lighting, while external dimensions remain garden-friendly.

Comfortable door height and a high ridge allow upright work and room for shelving, worktops and plant tables. This versatile space brings growing, display and enjoyment together.

Ideas for use in Malta: more than growing space

Early sowing & a longer season

Start seedlings under cover during cooler spells, harden off young plants gradually and extend harvesting into the milder months. Multiple glazed aspects give plants favourable light through the day.

Garden sitting room & retreat

Add two armchairs and a small table to create a favourite retreat: bright in cooler weather, ventilated in summer and ideal for reading, tea or conversation.

Collections & special plants

Citrus, succulents, pelargoniums or treasured ornamentals benefit from the crystal-clear appearance of safety glass. Combine shelves, climbing supports and open floor space to suit your collection.

Welcome guests in style

With subtle fairy lights, a tray and a few glasses, the Hexagon becomes an atmospheric garden pavilion for intimate gatherings, whatever the weather brings.

Practical tip: pair roof vents with automatic openers and consider a small, safe heater for cool nights, keeping seedlings protected and sensitive varieties steady.

Buying in Malta: value, price, delivery

Bloomcabin offers clear online ordering. The Hexagon includes its base, gutters and vents, without compulsory extras. Promotions and the calculated delivery time appear at checkout; plan foundation work and helpers accordingly. Delivery is available throughout the Maltese Islands and is free for most products, subject to the selected model’s terms.

Planning permission in Malta is project-specific. Ask a perit to classify the proposal by its footprint, height, enclosure, land designation and existing permit conditions, especially near boundaries, on scheduled property, in conservation areas or outside development zones. Added glazing, roofing, foundations or habitable use needs fresh assessment.

Location, foundation, assembly – getting it right

A firm, level, well-drained base supports years of use. Suitable options include compacted aggregate topped with paving slabs, paving, or a concrete slab with a slight fall. Ensure the surface is level and joins neatly to the supplied aluminium base.

  • Dry-fit the base: Check diagonals, angles and level, then anchor it in accordance with the instructions.
  • Build side by side: Position the frame first; align and tighten it finally only once the hexagon is closed.
  • Glazing: Choose a calm, dry day; have gloves, suction lifters and soft supports ready.
  • Fit vents early: This gives easy access to fittings; automatic openers can be added later.
  • Team & tools: Two can manage; three ease glass handling. Have a torque driver, spirit level, rubber mallet and stable ladder.

Finally, connect gutters to water butts, position shelving around the facets and add non-slip paths if needed. An outdoor rug and warm-white light create a more inviting garden-room character.

Care & lasting value through the year

Aluminium needs little maintenance: wash seasonally with mild cleaner, inspect fixings annually, keep roof vents moving freely and clear gutters in autumn. Clean safety glass with a soft sponge, avoiding abrasives. After severe weather, remove debris gently with a soft broom.

Rotate crops through the year: give the brightest facets to sun-loving plants, place herbs and salads in moderate light, and keep delicate ornamentals near a discreet heat source when appropriate.

Comparison: Hexagon versus alternatives

Compared with rectangular kits

Rectangles work efficiently for linear beds but can feel like a corridor. The Hexagon creates a more sociable, generous setting, ideal for propagation and relaxation.

Compared with film shelters

Film shelters may cost less, but often age quickly and look purely practical. Aluminium and safety glass offer crisp styling, longevity and a design that belongs in the garden, not behind the garage.

Compared with polycarbonate only

Polycarbonate can offer insulation benefits, but may lose brilliance over time. Glass remains visually superior when the greenhouse should serve as both a garden room and a working space.

Checklist for Malta

  • Clearance: Allow 60–90 cm around it for cleaning, gutters and maintenance.
  • Orientation: Choose sun with practical shade options; use hedges or walls as a gentle windbreak.
  • Water & electricity: A nearby outdoor tap and RCD-protected socket ease daily use; use an appropriately REWS-authorised professional for fixed outdoor wiring.
  • Climate comfort: Use automatic vent openers and a small circulation fan during hot spells; consider safe supplementary heating for cool nights.
  • Delivery window: Schedule the foundation and helpers after order confirmation; store glass panels upright and securely.
  • Extras: Add planting tables, staging, climbing supports, irrigation, water butts, lighting or shade as needed.
