The important thing is to make sure it is square rather than level.

ie. That all the corners are at right-angles to each other. You may have the top and bottom level but out of true.

if you have a try-square, you can check all the angles. Or you can measure across the diagonals and make sure each opposing diagonal measures the same.

I had a similar problem with mine which is 3 greenhouses made into 1 like Rob says make sure everthing is square, and check the lengths of the uprights etc are the same if it's more than 1 joined together

thanks for the help,,he has gone back up today to see if he can do it,,the trouble is he wants it to be perfect and i don't think it will be,,hopefully he will come back today with the glass in,,he took the green house down so at least we know it should go back up again,,or maybe not :?

Problem with perfection is it's a hard task master, I've a friend who's extremely talented in the making stuff side, but he never finishes anything cause he wants perfection every time, more of a Heath Robinson kinda bloke myself
