  I don't have a rhino greenhouse but people do silicone glass in sometimes. I am sure rhino GH glazing is held in by bar capping. I've dismantled a few GH and rebuilt them without hardly any problems, My own Gh I bought new were a nightmare to build. Ideal you want to keep the ends intact if you can transport it the rest is straight forward, take some plastic tubs for nuts bolts / knife for silicone etc. Take a picture of the GH before.

  There is a rubber seal fitted between aluminium and inside of glass, so no silicone would normally be used.  The hard part (especially now it's cold) will be removing the long rubber-edged plastic sealing strips which both hold in and seal the glass on the outside.  Those were even quite difficult to clip in some places when I built my Rhino.  If you have trouble with removing those strips, worth asking if the previous owner could let you borrow a sponge and a bucket of hot water as warming each strip with a hot wet sponge should soften it a bit, allowing you to more easily lever it from under the little ridge which locks it in place.  Once you have a bit unclipped, the rest comes out fairly easily.
  

  There are some supplier videos on how to build a Rhino on Youtube which would be worth watching:

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  When my husband moved a greenhouse - not a Rhino - he took a marker and numbered every piece. He made a simple diagram showing where they belonged. It saved countless hours pf puzzling over which bit fitted where.
