Post by: Mother Natures Son on February 19, 2012, 15:33

Hi there,

I am not sure if you got the last post? The file that I sent was too large so it rejected but if you go to this link (copy and paste) most of the principles will follow in six languages, I have a 8X6 bought second hand, but took some photos during the removal so any specifics to Crittall I will try to answer accordingly

luckily when i dismantled mine i kept the front back and sides intact all i have loose is the door and roof rails.

but just learned i need to replace all the glazing bead...and at £2.76 per 4 metres...say goodbye to the best part of £30! (not easy stuff to source)

here is my 8x8 when we went to collect her hope this helps.
