Lucky you!

I had to pay for mine , the same size . If you can get away without reducing the size I am sure you will reap the benefits. It will be well worth the effort. Good also that you appear to have some willing helpers, so fustrating when someone offers after the event.

That's a lovely greenhouse Becci, you can never have a greenhouse that's too big!!   unless its bigger than your garden!

Suggest gloves , WD40 to spray nuts and bolts,and a pot with lid to put them in. marker pen to id all the parts,  and a camera to take pics . I found a socket and ratchet worked ok.

Good luck

Thanks for all the advice, just wanted to update everyone. Took all the glass out today, only lost one pane on the journey home. It was already damaged so I'm really pleased. Hopefully dismantling the frame and bringing the rest of it onto the plot on Friday!!! Have wd40 all of the joints today ready!

Just wondering, have been reading about people sealing their greenhouses. Wheni took the panes out today, they didn't have any seals, they were just flush to the aluminium frame. Should I buy some sealing ? Also can I re use the W clips? Any tips on what I can clean the glass with?

[Rangerkris]

I cleaned my glass with fairy up liquid when i got my new to me greenhouse's, I would buy a new pack of w clips and replace any slack ones as you go also a pack of bolts all from wilko cheap as chips.  All mine have had seals with them so not sure weather they do some with out or not.

There were generally two types of methods used for sealing aluminium greenhouses of this type 1)mastic, 2)rubber seals. If it was the type that used mastic there will be a small grove on the aluminium extrusion where the window is seated. Grey mastic tubes can be used bought from a hardware store like Q&B for this type. If its a type of greenhouse that uses rubber seals it would be worth trying to find the make then Googling as there's loads of information. Worth sealing properly otherwise the windows will rattle in the wind, crack and leak.

Nice greenhouse by the way, you will love it.

I didn't think there was such a thing as too big a greenhouse!!  People always seem to fill them, even if part of it becomes a potting shed/store!
