Default Green House dismantling

In article ,
says...
I've been offered an aluminium green house, 6ft by 8ft.
No charge but I have to dismantle/re-erect it.

I've no experience of such an operation and I can't just remove the glass
and carry the frame as I'm 4 miles away.

Should I go for it or will it be more hassle than it's worth?

Easy to do mark but I would suggest going on-line and purchasing all new
spring clips before reassembling and also tape the glass together in
small amounts for carrying as its very heavy but the actual taking down
and putting up is very easy.
Note as has been said on this group many times before always start on a
level base and get everything square (measure the diagonals) if you are
out the glass will not fit back in!
