    Hi everyone, I did a separate video to show you how to cut & fit the glass.

    I just rescued a very similar 6x8 from a house that was scheduled to be torn down. Luckily the greenhouse was out of harm's way but I still had to get it off the lot sooner than later. I pretreated all the nuts and bolts overnight with penetrating oil to break any rust. I had to drill out a few stubborn bolts but that went quickly. The screws used to anchor the greenhouse to the foundation ruined three bits. They were very rusty but reacted like stainless. My titanium bits didn't make a dent!
    Thanks to your vid I was able to break the house down with the four sides intact. Before breaking it down I marked all the pieces with numbers or symbols to make sure that they will go back together properly. Sadly on the last side (door side) the base rail was completely rusted and fell apart. I have a plan for repair and it should be fine.
    Mine has fiberglas panels which are intact although slightly yellowed. They should work for now but I'll watch your glass vid for future reference in case I decide to upgrade :)

    Nice job, that looked like a lot of hard work! Now you have a green house to be proud of and you kept it from ending up in landfill! Can’t wait to see what you manage to grow in it :)

    You are a star. This was about the fifth vjdeo I found after I was given a greenhouse which I dismantled without any thought of getting it back together Looking at the pile of filthy aluminium spars in my garden I thought this is a mistake, but you saved the day with the construction manual download. Like you I hadn't noticed the embossed part numbers so when my replacement clips and bolts arrive, rebuilding should take about 5 hours less than working blind. It is a Halls Greenhouse if anyone else is interested. I am now a subscriber.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I’m getting a freebie 8x6 greenhouse this weekend and you’ve helped make it seem achievable. Could never afford a new one 🤞🏻mine turns out as well as yours.

    best instructional video by far

  • @greenz190
    @greenz190 2 місяці тому

    Nice video 👍Where abouts did you find the model/brand of greenhouse to get the instructions? I picked up a second hand one like yours but it was already dismantled so i hqve no clue how it came apart! can't seem locate anything to ID it for the instruction manual. Slowly realising it'll be a nightmare without it!😂

    Well done. I picked up exactly the same greenhouse for free and currently putting it together and using your video to help the jigsaw puzzle. Its really helped. Also I have some missing glass (broke 2 panes in the learning process) do you know what size glass this is? The main square ones?

    • @GrowWithKit
      @GrowWithKit  Рік тому +1

      Thanks mate, They are 2ft squares.

    Some of the glass in my greenhouse was broken over time so I replaced them with polycarbonate panels. The only downside is that they have to be well secured otherwise the winter storms will blow them out.

    • @GrowWithKit
      @GrowWithKit  Рік тому

      Yeah I’m not keen on poly panels but they are cheaper than glass.

    The steel nuts won't go rusty but they will corrode the aluminum frame by galvanic corrosion. If you can't find aluminium nuts then use some of the black tape you have there so you don't have steel touching aluminium.

    Just feed back from some who has never done something like this before, it would of been helpful to be shown bolts, the size, what tool used, what the glass clips looks like and how the work

    • @GrowWithKit
      @GrowWithKit  2 роки тому +1

      I know, it’s the first one I’ve done also & I didn’t really think the video through as a how to. Next time I do one I’ll show more details.

    How did you get the manual? My partner and I just got a free greenhouse which we are restoring. It's a smaller version of yours but otherwise exactly the same. Thanks

    • @GrowWithKit

      Just googled greenhouse instructions, was the first one that I came across.

    Hi what greenhouse is this, I'm sure this is the exact one we picked up last year, were finally putting it together but no manual and after an hour of confusion we walked away

    • @GrowWithKit
      @GrowWithKit  Рік тому

      Hi, I’m not sure what make it is, I found the manual by chance after googling. Don’t give up it’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.
