Classic Accoya Fusion
Classic Accoya Fusion – aluminium greenhouse with genuine Accoya wood details
The Bloomcabin Classic Accoya Fusion greenhouse combines the proven Classic aluminium structure with clearly visible details in genuine Accoya wood. Its crisp form gains a natural material character that develops over time. This model is for gardeners who want to grow plants reliably while coordinating their greenhouse harmoniously with their home, terrace and garden paths.
The range covers approximately 3.8–18.9 m²and reaches a height of around 2.34 m. Features include various glazing options, sliding doors, up to 37 RAL colours, roof ventilation and integrated drainage.
Configuration is about more than size and colour. Consider the sun’s path, the natural change in the wood, access with plant containers, sliding-door position, drainage and the foundation early on. This helps make the greenhouse practical to use and well placed on your plot. Find further models and planning guidance from Bloomcabin.
Construction and materials
Classic design with genuine wood accents
The powder-coated aluminium frame carries the structure, while genuine Accoya is used as a visible design detail. This preserves the precise shape of the Classic model while giving it a warmer appearance. Up close, the contrast is especially clear: linear profiles, transparent glazing and the wood’s natural grain complement one another.
The Accoya elements do not replace load-bearing aluminium profiles. In construction, sense of space and operation, Classic Accoya Fusion remains an aluminium greenhouse; the wood provides carefully placed visual accents. Anyone seeking a construction made entirely from wood will therefore need a different greenhouse concept.
Unlike a model with an attached storage room, Classic Accoya Fusion has no integrated storage. Its footprint can therefore be used entirely for beds, containers, propagation benches, working routes or a small seating area. Garden tools, growing media and plant-protection materials still need separate dry storage. Allow for this when planning workflows and routes between home, shed and greenhouse.

Accoya wood at a glance
Modified Radiata pine for long-lasting outdoor use
Accoya is made from Radiata pine and modified through acetylation. This means the material absorbs less moisture and remains more dimensionally stable. That is particularly useful for visible outdoor components: changing moisture has less effect on the wood while its natural structure remains. As the surface is still real wood, it needs cleaning and care different from powder-coated aluminium.
Accoya is classified as durability class 1. This describes the wood’s resistance, but not its colour or the visual uniformity of the surface.
Bloomcabin uses untreated Accoya wood. Its natural grain and original surface character remain visible; a coloured surface treatment is not included.
Design in detail
Coordinate frame colour, glazing, wood and planting
Frame colour, glazing, wood tone and planting together determine the overall impression. Reflections change how the profiles appear, while untreated wood creates a warm counterpoint. Assess colour samples at the intended location and from the viewing angles that matter from the house, terrace and garden paths.

Light and greenhouse climate
Coordinate light, ventilation and plant arrangement
Glazing affects light distribution, visibility and heat gain. Rising warmth and humid air can escape through roof vents provided shelves and tall plants do not block airflow. Plan glazing, ventilation and interior layout as one connected system.
The extensive glazing brings plenty of light indoors; the Accoya elements add only local accents. Even so, follow the pattern of shade when planning crops. Young plants may need a different position from tall fruiting crops. Shelves, supports and work surfaces generally shade the interior more than the decorative wood elements.
Arrange the interior around the crops you intend to grow. Early-raised plants need a bright, easily reached position. Tall tomatoes or cucumbers should stand where they do not permanently shade lower crops. Where roof and side glazing differ, assess how much light each area actually needs.
Ways to use it
Four ideas for using the Classic Accoya Fusion greenhouse
01
Greenhouse in the kitchen garden
In a kitchen garden, the greenhouse offers sheltered space for tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and early propagation. Short routes to outdoor beds, compost and water make daily care easier. Frequently harvested crops are best near the entrance, while climbing plants can grow farther back. The main route remains usable even with dense summer planting.
02
Cut flowers and ornamental plants
For cut flowers and ornamental plants, the transparent construction forms a visible backdrop. Different plant heights, seasonal planting and selected containers can be coordinated with the Accoya details without limiting practical use. Plan sufficiently wide working routes and keep roof vents accessible so care and cleaning remain straightforward throughout the season.
03
Propagation and potting area
Those mainly sowing, pricking out and potting on need robust work surfaces, room for growing-medium containers and accessible storage. Propagation trays should be easy to check and positioned so lasting moisture does not collect on nearby components. Durable containers can sit beneath the bench; frequently used tools belong within reach, outside the main route.
04
A seat among the plants
In a sufficiently large version, a chair or small table can stand among the plants. The seating area must not block the entrance or operation of the roof ventilation. Watering routes and access for care must also remain clear. Movable furniture is usually more practical than fixed fittings because it can be repositioned during propagation or for seasonal reconfiguration.
Location, foundation and weather
A site involves more than daily light levels. Check routes from the home, moving large plant containers, access for installation and cleaning, and rainwater run-off. Trees, walls and neighbouring buildings can affect sunlight and air movement. Only then should door position, glazing, ventilation and interior layout be finalised.
Integrating it into the garden
Accoya works well with natural stone, timber decks, rendered façades and clean-edged beds. Repeat existing materials selectively in paths or borders to create a coherent visual connection between greenhouse and garden. Assess the selection in natural daylight at the intended location whenever possible.
A scaled site plan reveals potential conflicts before the foundation and paths are laid. Draw in the outer outline, access, neighbouring beds, water points and the route from the property entrance. This shows whether there is enough room around the greenhouse for installation, care and cleaning, and whether a larger version can be used sensibly on the site.
When choosing orientation, also consider the sliding-door position: it affects the symmetry of the view while determining access. The visually preferred side must not create awkward routes. A good position combines an attractive view with short care routes and easily reached outdoor areas.
Summer heat
In strong sun, greenhouse temperatures can rise quickly, especially when substantial planting also releases moisture. Assess the site not only in spring but also in summer when the sun is high. Anyone rarely home during the day should coordinate ventilation and plant choice with that routine. Sensitive crops should not sit directly in the most sun-exposed areas.
Match roof ventilation and any selected solar-control glazing to the most sun-exposed sides of the building. Not every surface needs the same solution. Trees can provide seasonal shade, but branches should neither overhang the roof nor hinder cleaning. Temporary internal shading must not restrict air movement or use of the vents.
Check the temperature at different times of day initially. This quickly identifies areas that heat up more and whether the planned ventilation routine is sufficient.
Foundation and site conditions
A stable, level base is required so aluminium frames, glazing and sliding doors can be aligned correctly. Deviations can continue through the whole structure during installation. Before starting, check levels, diagonals and connection points. Surrounding ground must also direct rainwater and surface water away from the greenhouse.
The foundation must suit the ground build-up, slope, drainage and local site conditions so the frame remains level and true over time. A site-specific structural assessment should address the Bloomcabin greenhouse wind resistance of 30 m/s and snow load of 210 kg/m². Have the foundation design professionally determined before installation.
Foundation, installation area and drainage route must be decided before delivery. Keep a clear route from the unloading point to the build site, without tight turns, low branches or sensitive garden areas. A clean temporary storage area for components is needed during installation. Plan water and electrical lines before groundworks so they do not conflict with later fixing points.
Natural greying of Accoya wood
Depending on their location, wood parts receive different amounts of rain and sun. Sheltered areas may therefore retain their original colour longer than exposed surfaces. These intermediate stages are normal; do not try to even out colour differences through intensive cleaning.
Remove loose dirt gently and avoid standing water at joints. Cleaning and care products must not be used indiscriminately on wood, aluminium and glazing, as every surface has different requirements. Test a product first in an inconspicuous place. Do not use a pressure washer on wood details, seals or joints.
Anyone expecting a permanently even, fresh wood colour should remember that untreated Accoya does not retain its original outdoor appearance unchanged. Natural ageing is part of this material choice. Judge the greenhouse not only by its initial wood tone but also by its later silvery-grey effect.
Plants and interior
Plan the interior around the plants. For each crop, consider final height, space needed, access for care and harvest frequency. These determine work surfaces, free floor areas and routes. Doors, roof vents and glass surfaces that need cleaning must remain accessible. If young plants, tall fruiting crops and containers share the space, clearly defined zones with different working heights help.
Work benches
Side work benches use the greenhouse length while leaving a continuous main route clear. Choose their depth so rear pots remain reachable without leaning on glazing or frames. Removable or mobile surfaces ease the seasonal change between propagation and large container plants. Supports must not conceal cleaning areas, lines or drainage zones.
A working height suited to your own stature makes sowing, pricking out and potting easier. It should not be chosen only by a standard dimension. Heavy bags and large pots belong on low, load-bearing surfaces. Frequently used small items can be stored in accessible containers away from permanently damp areas.
Roof vents must remain inspectable, operable and cleanable. Tall shelving directly below them is therefore impractical. Leave enough space in front of the inside of the glazing too. Do not attach training wires or plant supports to moving parts. Keeping these access areas clear from the beginning makes future maintenance and care possible without extensively moving mature plants.
Wood details in a planted interior
Do not use Accoya elements as shelves, plant supports or fixing surfaces for later-added accessories. Extra drilling and continuously damp materials in contact with them can alter their surface and appearance. Instead, plan supports, hooks and shelves as independent elements suited to the construction. This also keeps the layout flexible when crops change.
Arrange watering points and saucers so overflow cannot stand against wood details or frame connections. Check densely planted areas after watering and remove escaped water promptly.
Leave enough space in front of Accoya elements for visual checks and cleaning. Pots, growing-medium bags and furniture should neither touch nor permanently cover the wood surfaces, so changes and dirt remain visible early.
Choosing frame colour on site
Include permanently present elements when selecting colour: house façade, boundaries, roof covering and paved routes shape the setting throughout the year. Seasonal flower colours change too much to determine the frame colour on their own.
A RAL colour looks different depending on light, distance and neighbouring surfaces. View a sample in shade and direct sun. Against warm wood or behind glass, the same shade can appear different from a printed chart. This is especially important when matching existing windows, metal fencing or other powder-coated components.
If the frame colour is to echo existing windows, fences or other powder-coated elements, compare samples directly. The RAL designation alone does not guarantee an identical appearance, since age, gloss level and substrate affect existing surfaces. A harmonious combination is generally more convincing than a merely nominal colour match.
Selecting suitable glazing
Clear glazing provides an open view of plants and visually links indoors with outdoors. Pots, working materials and irrigation lines also remain visible from outside. Near a terrace or living area, separate enclosed storage is therefore useful. What matters is not decorative display, but orderly working organisation.
Special glazing can help where glare, intense sun or overlooking need to be managed. Choose by building side and use: what is comfortable at a work area may not suit the crop zone needing the most light. For each surface, decide whether plant light, comfort or privacy takes priority.
When combining different glazing types, consider the external appearance too. Visible transitions can structure the clean form effectively or appear restless. Inside, their position determines light and shade. A sketch showing compass directions, plant heights and viewing angles helps allocate individual panels deliberately.
Planning for changing uses
Separate permanent components from movable furnishings. Foundation, door position, glazing and drainage can only be changed later with considerable effort. Tables, containers and shelves, however, can adapt to new crops. A sensible configuration therefore establishes structural basics first and leaves the interior open to later experience.
Ventilation
During vigorous growth, regularly check the opening paths of roof vents. Train or cut back tall plants in good time so leaves neither block moving parts nor become damaged as they open. Trellises and shade cloths must also keep sufficient distance from the vents.
When needed, open sliding doors support air exchange. Keep both the door area and routes to it clear.
The ventilation routine must suit daily life. Anyone leaving in the morning and returning only in the evening should allow for this when choosing the configuration and plants. After a longer absence, inspect vents, doors and plant condition. When conditions become cooler, overheating may be less likely, but moisture can remain indoors if the greenhouse stays closed for long periods.
Interior floor and door threshold
Plan the finished interior floor together with the threshold, working routes and intended table legs.
The floor must withstand gardening, moisture and regular cleaning. A level, slip-resistant surface makes moving pots and small trolleys easier. Joints and loose aggregates differ in drainage and cleaning. Whatever the build-up, avoid hollows where irrigation water, soil or plant debris can collect permanently.
Set floor level and door threshold before installing fixed work surfaces. Later layers can alter the opening, obstruct doors or direct water unfavourably. The transition to outdoor paths should also be as level and robust as possible, so containers and growing-medium bags can be moved without unnecessary obstacles.
Irrigation
With a larger footprint, plant numbers and watering routes usually increase. Position the water point, hose and shut-off so every area remains reachable without blocking the main route. Watering cans need a fixed place. Water containers must neither cause lasting damp nor obstruct cleaning and access to components.
Drip irrigation can supply individual planting areas precisely and reduce unnecessary water on routes, leaves and components. It does not replace checking growing media and drippers. Keep lines orderly, accessible and outside door tracks. They can then be checked, cleaned or removed at season’s end without rebuilding the whole interior.
Connections, valves and shut-offs must remain reachable even when plants are mature. Do not place joints behind heavy tables or beneath permanently damp bags. Before extended disuse or unusually cold weather, decide how lines will be drained and exposed components protected. A clear pipe layout also makes leaks easier to spot early.
Flexible furnishing
A greenhouse often serves different purposes over the years. Vegetable propagation may be followed by ornamental plants, sheltered container plants or mixed crops. Plant height, light demand and required floor area then change. A clear central axis with versatile side zones makes these changes easier. Fixed specialist solutions are most worthwhile where the use is established long term.
Mobile tables, freestanding shelves and plant containers can be rearranged seasonally. Still, ensure stability and suitable surfaces. Narrow, tall furniture can become unstable on damp floors or touch the glazing. Castors only help where floor and thresholds allow easy movement. Flexibility therefore requires durable, carefully chosen furnishings.
Furnish the greenhouse gradually in its first season. Observe which areas receive morning and evening light, where heat accumulates and which routes you actually use for watering and harvesting. Add further shelving, supports or growing areas only afterwards, so operation, cleaning and air exchange are not restricted unnecessarily.
Record the configuration clearly
From plant list to the right order
First make a list of crops intended to stand in the greenhouse at the same time. Note not only plant numbers, but also final height, harvest period and work space needed. This reveals which areas remain occupied and where seasonal space becomes available. The overview helps select a size without relying only on the stated footprint.
Then record the chosen version by building side: door position, glazing panels, frame colour and visible Accoya details should be assigned in a clear sketch. This is particularly helpful where roof and sides have different glazing or the view from home and terrace plays an important part in the choice.
Before final ordering, compare the recorded version with site conditions once more. Door side and transport route, foundation and drainage, plus glazing and intended use must work together. Also check that service routes and later furnishings leave all essential operating and care areas free.
