Our Greenhouse Combo structures feature a functional growing space with LP SmartSide construction and an attached open-air porch, creating the ultimate dual-purpose outdoor space for Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey gardeners. The enclosed greenhouse portion provides year-round growing capability for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and seedlings, while the adjacent covered porch serves as a potting station, outdoor entertaining area, garden supply storage, or peaceful retreat surrounded by your thriving plants.

The greenhouse section features a unique hybrid roof system with premium twin-wall polycarbonate panels that transmit 80-90% of natural light while providing superior insulation for extended-season growing. Durable LP SmartSide walls provide weather-tight construction throughout the entire structure. The attached porch features a beautiful pergola-style roof with open slats that create dappled shade—perfect for working with transplants, organizing gardening tools, hosting garden parties, or simply relaxing with morning coffee while monitoring your plants.

This innovative combination design maximizes your outdoor investment by delivering two functional spaces in one cohesive structure. Whether you're a serious vegetable gardener who needs workspace adjacent to growing areas, a flower enthusiast wanting to display potted arrangements, or a homeowner seeking to add both gardening capability and outdoor living space to your property, the Greenhouse Combo offers unmatched versatility. Available in multiple sizes with customizable porch dimensions to fit your specific property layout and gardening ambitions.

Making the Most of Your Combo

  • • Install tiered benches on three sides to maximize growing area vertically
  • • Use porch for hardening off seedlings before transplanting to outdoor gardens

  • • Utilize porch storage for potting soil, fertilizer, and growing supplies

Porch Organization Ideas

  • • Install potting bench along shared wall for easy access to greenhouse plants
  • • Hang tools on wall-mounted pegboard or hooks for organized workspace
  • • Use weatherproof storage bins for seed packets, gloves, and hand tools
  • • Add folding chairs or small table for relaxing between garden tasks
  • • Position rolling cart for transporting plants between greenhouse and outdoor beds

Seasonal Transitions

  • Spring: Use porch for seed starting staging and transplant hardening
  • Summer: Convert porch to shaded seating area with greenhouse providing living wall backdrop
  • Fall: Process harvest on porch while greenhouse extends growing season
  • Winter: Greenhouse grows cold-hardy greens while porch serves as a covered potting and staging area

Entertaining Integration

  • • Display colorful container plants on porch to create inviting entrance
  • • String cafe lights across pergola beams for evening ambiance
  • • Position small bistro set on porch for garden-to-table dining
  • • Use greenhouse as conversation piece—guests love seeing growing operations
  • • Incorporate porch into garden tours or plant swap events
