And don't forget a couple of 10mm spanners

You can always tell the 10mm ones - they 're the ones your son has
taken out of every socket set in the workshop and forgotten to replace!

Might I just suggest that you practice a bit with the glass holding
spring clips. It helps if you are confidendent handling these
particularly if they have been in place for some time.

The clips tend to fly off despite care being taken.

Loop a piece of string round your belt and attach a bulldog
clip to the other end.

Attach bulldog clip to spring wne attemting removal.

Tedious, yes, but saves losing them in the shrubbery

If they are old you will need new ones so don't worry about losing them. Get
them from Garden Centres

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!
