A solid and carefully crafted greenhouse can be dismantled with a clear conscience and even several times if necessary. If everything is cleaned properly after dismantling and the dismantled parts are marked like a blueprint, later reassembly is child's play.
How to successfully dismantle and reassemble a greenhouse?
Dismantling a greenhouse is possible if all parts are carefully dismantled, cleaned, marked and stored in a dry place. Photos of the structure and a sketch of the components make later assembly easier and are useful when selling.
There are a number of reasons that garden enthusiasts draw inspiration from when looking for a greenhouse that suits their needs. Often it is the size or a question of the money invested in the new building. But sometimes it just comes down to dismantling the greenhouse being as quick and easy as possible. If there is not enough space in the garden and the glass house is actually only intended to be used for overwintering sensitive plants, a permanently assembled structure with a solid concrete foundation is out of the question. For such cases, a transportable foil tent (€69.00 on Amazon) is the simplest and cheapest solution.
Prefabricated houses in a set are easy to implement
Houses with lightweight construction and without a solid foundation are also very flexible when a change of location is necessary and have the advantage over the simple foil tent that they can be heated with appropriate additional devices in colder temperatures. They are delivered ready-made by retailers, arecan be dismantled in just a few steps and require little space in the garden shed or cellar if they need to be stored.
So that the construction works again
Before dismantling a greenhouse that will be reassembled in a few months, it is helpful to take some photos, especially if the assembly instructions have disappeared from prefabricated houses. During dismantling, the individual parts of the substructure can be marked with numbers on adhesive labels and transferred to scale in aself-drawn construction sketch. This small effort makes later assembly of the components much easier and, in the event of a sale, is a good guide for the new owner when it comes to correct assembly.
Special case: dismantling the inflatable greenhouse
Although they are more expensive to purchase than the foil tents or tunnels, they can be dismantled within a few minutes and without outside help. As with all types of greenhouses, all parts must be carefully cleaned, metal pipes and connecting elements removed from rust, checked for visible damage and finally stored in as dry a place as possible.
Tip
Please note when stored for a longer period of time: Film sometimes lasts much longer when stored in a dark environment and the metal frames of prefabricated greenhouses, which are often made using very little material, do not like moisture at all as they rust easily.
