just a quick update we went to start the dismantling today took out all the glass in about 2 hours - no broken paynes.

we will go back tomorow with 8 family members and a 20 foot trailer and collect. Hopefully the frame won't fall to pieces !

We will buy new glass clips as the currents ones are a bit old.which clips are best/what would you recomend ?

The next challange will be a base the greenhouse will be going on a concreate yard so what would be best a few layers of bricks bolt it down ? Paving slabs and bolt it down ? Wood and bolt it down ? It will have to stand severe winds and I mean severe so the safest possible as I don't want to chase it up the garden and constantly be buying glass. Oh and talking about glass whats the cost of a pane of glass (average) ?
Thanks

When I put my second hand greenhouse up earlier this year I needed to replace I think 5 or 6 panes and it cost me about 40 quid. I think they were 24"*24" panes.

But if you keep your eye open on freecycle you might see some being offered - I've seen it a few times on our local one.

£40 ?

Goodness that is a lot.Mine are standard 61cm squared ones so it should cost about £2 a pane hopefully because we have broken 6 or 7

Think you might be a tad under estimating your costs unless you can get them second hand/freecycle

after adding bolts where required e.t.c we found out there are 2 bits of "aliminuim" which go from the top side to bottom frame missing,this is where the glass is ment to be. Is this the end of the greenhouse  ? Can you buy theese anywere ?

[garddwr]

When I moved mine I took apart only the minimum... left sides and ends and roof intact... (glass out obviously)

I think stripping it down completely would be a mistake

[garddwr]

yeah what happend KNIGHT FAMILY is we were carrying on a tractor and trailer nad there were some loose bits so we put the flat and they blew off and I think hit a car. I thought  somebody was following us home because they had been hit but thank goodness it turned off somewhere else just before our drive.

What a fantastic BIG greenhouse
I would love one that size but I am sure I would still run out of room.
Happy growing
