Greetings. I`ve had my greenhouse up not yet 2 months but am having to move

I was contemplating trying to take it whole--but maybe not!!
So-- will it have to be a complete destruction and re-build?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Den / Silke

I think you're going to have to completely dismantle it.
The whole structure is designed so that each section ( sides, front,
rear, roof ) supports and stiffens the adjacent sections...the moment
you take one part out of the whole, it becomes very wobbly indeed -
as does the rest of the structure.

If you could perhaps find a way to attach pairs of battens along each
section to provide additional support then maybe you'd be in with a
chance of at least moving it in six parts.
Bear in mind though that the ends of each section form the start of
the next - so even with battens you're going to have to make some
'executive decisions'.

Then again, at only two months old it should come apart swiftly
enough!

Regards,
