OldFord Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hi mate , greenhouses are class for the garden grower Remove all the panes of glass first ... normally just winged W clips , the ali frame section is just L shaped channel and easily manipulated. Ideally remove it in as big a section as you can as save putting it back together , most are galv nut & bolt to reduce metalurgical reactions with the ali. Poly card 8 x 4 sheets , ideally opaque to prevent prying eyes , its all good it lets light through. Also you can use slider / hit & mess vets cut into the poly carb panel to get more air flow / ventilation. Use penetrating oil on the fittings as they will more than likely be seized. Once the glass is out its an easy dismantle with a small set of steps on your own. Reassemble to suit you as its only bolt on sections All the best with it sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growinggold Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 hello @geogeo yes my green house was new few years ago. all polycarb. from summer buildings direct it think. wast expensive. not sure on replacing glass with polycarb. as my panels slide down a extrusion frame sort thing rather then clips. if I had the money n space n no little kids I'd probs go glass next time though. but kids n money ment I couldn't. tbh poly does the job great so no complaints juts can't seeing it lasting as long as proper glass one. good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
