regarding the dismantling of said greenhouse (i'm glad i now know to take a spanner,a marker, and wd40, i'd only thought about a screwdriver and a hammer) tomorrow we are taking down a freecycle shed and greenhouse, is it not possible to leave the panels intact? ie keep it as 2 roof panels, 2 sides, and 2 ends? or will that fall apart? neighbour has a big flat bed truck, so size of panels isn't an issue.

thanks

"i'm glad i now know to take a spanner, ..."

Take a camera. Photograph it from every angle. Mostly each panel is the same as the next one, but the ends, eves, doors, etc. have different bits.

Also heavy duty gloves for handling the glass - otherwise you'll get cut to pieces!

"is it not possible to leave the panels intact?"

I don't know how well they will travel with the glass in - glass is happier stacked upright and all-snuggled-up IYSWIM!

Once you take the glass out it has no rigidity and will might buckle etc.

It doesn't take long to dismantle - I took down a 30' aluminium greenhouse, with a mate, in 3 hours or so.

If it is old some of the bolts will probably sheer off. They are cheap enough to replace. (i.e. I'm not sure how much time it is worth spending with WD40 to prevent them sheering).
