IF you rweaaly have to do it, my tip is to take a junior hacksaw if it's an old greenhouse - to saw through corroded steel bolts or if absolutely necessary through a little bit of frame too...

also - if aluminium bolts won't undo - just tighten them til they shear off, theyre cheap anyway

M

Yes and no, expect them to shear off and don`t waste time trying to undo them but as for cheap please tell me where, i`ve always paid a lot for alu nuts and bolts.

I got some off ebay last March, can't remember which store it was, somewhere in Scotland I think, the person bags up bolts to order (multiples of 10) and only charges 1 postage...

I did mine last year and its not a bad job but expect to loose some glass. I transported the frame in the 4 sides and roof bars, thats also how I plan to move it down south with me in the next couple of months.

(Number the glass with a dry wipe maker for the funny shaps)
