Hi to everyone I'm macca from harrow middx. I have an allotment which I love. I recently purchased a second hand green house. I made a huge mistake by not taking any photographs of it while it was still assembled. I am now in the position of having a large aluminium jigsaw on my plot which I have no idea how to put together. It has no identification, no plans. Does anyone have any advice? Please help.!!!!

Hi there, and welcome to the Vine
Most greenhouses have a small label attatched-often in the door area.
Have a careful look and see if you can find it...it will at least say what make it is.
If you can find that out, and know the dimensions you may well be able to have a gggggogle for any instructions.
If you can't find the label, the previous owner might recall it?

As Nicos says, but if you can't find the name then start looking for similar bits and place them together, then inspect each one, rafter members may be cut and an angle for the apex where they meet. Diagonal Bracing is often flat bar with holes either end. Look at other greenhouses on the allotment and see if you can determine which element they are likely to be.

Good luck and welcome to the vine

Hi Macca and welcome to the Vine. Good advice that others have offered about grouping identical parts, plus look carefully and you'll probably be able to see where they were previously fastened together.
If you can, lay it out one panel at a time, eg, identify each side, then the roof etc. Good luck with it.

Hello and welcome. I hope your greenhouse jigsaw comes together OK.

Hello Macca and welcome to the vine if you can't find a makers name try searching for the same door or post a photo of it here on the vine.

Hi Macca and welcome
Most GHs are similar in the way they're assembled (unless you've acquired a top of the range freebie) Try this site for some ideas Help & Advice
Do you know what size it is - like 6x8, or 8x10? That will help you work out how many uprights you need for each side and the roof.
