Greenhouse dismantle and manual

I am hoping to get an Elite Streamline greenhouse on eBay tomorrow but would need to dismantle and collect it.

Does anyone have any tips for the best way to go about it, or possibly, a copy of the manual? Suggestions as to which tools are needed would be useful too!

any thanks

    This is really useful, many thanks for taking the time to reply in such detail.

    Tea and biscuits will be top of the list!

    Thank you! I've also managed to get a supplier to email assembly instructions which will hopefully help! 

    For some reason I've ticked the box which asks for an email when a response is made but no emails have come through!!

    Also never remove the glass from inside the greenhouse as it becomes very brittle over time (assuming horticultural glass) and the shards are lethal.  If you make sure no part of your body (or anyone elses!) is underneath a pane of glass when you remove it, you should be fine.  Try and transport it upright (say, stacked side by side in a strong cardboard or preferably wooden box) as several usually crack when stacked flat in the back of a car by the time you get home (experience speaking here!) image

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

    Hi,

    We took one apart a few weeks ago for a house move. It a 6ft long streamline with safety glass in it (young children when we bought it and now). I came apart very easily with no issues.

    But there were two of us, I would suggest that makes the process a whole lot easier.

    Now we just have to decide where to put it at the new house and build it back up again!

    So .. we won the greenhouse for ??51 and didn't have to go far to collect.

    All the above advice was encouraging and useful. We kept the sides, front & back & as many other bits of frame as possible intact and put them on the roof rack. The following day we reassembled and are really pleased!! image
