Greenhouse Growing

Places like B&Q sell sheets or this company,

Just my thoughts but how do you move a very rickkety fully glazed greenhouse if its not sitting square.Also there could be the chance of breaking some of the glass during the fixing process, depending on how you go about it.

Hi Snappers, I am really gutted that you took the easy way out (getting someone to put it up for you) cos I am new to this forum and I enjoyed reading your posts. We are in the same position (have a great pile of bits, thinking "Omigod what have we done!") Only this time it's me who wants the...
