I've just agreed to buy second hand a 5m diameter geodesic greenhouse
(glass house). I have to dismantle, move it then re-erect it in my
garden. Has anyone any advice as to the best way to do this? To what
constituent parts (pentagons and hexagons, or triangles?)should I break
it down to? How best should I rebuild it? Anyone out there done this?

Not done that, but would seem like a good idea to mark bits with numbers so that
they correspond. Might make reconstruction easier :~))

Break it down to the biggest sections you can transport easily, and
take a large bundle of tie-on tags and label everything.

Thanks everybody for all your ideas. And a solar furnace might be OK
here on the drizzly west coast of scotland....
