Sometimes the demolition is the only option
Demolition and disposal of the garden house
If the old arbor has become weathered and unsightly, usually only the final demolition remains. As a rule, you can easily disassemble and dispose of the small house yourself. However, there are some points to note, which we would like to discuss in more detail in our article.
The preparations
The demolition
First remove the roofing and the roof. Afterwards, the walls and, if they can not be reused, the floor slab is dismantled.
Disposal
Sort all parts of the garden house before:
Glass, bitumen shingles or roofing felt takes the recycling center. This also applies to wood, which must be separated again:
Metal such as nails, screws or gutters can often be returned to the local scrap merchant for face value. If this is not the case, the recycling center is also responsible.
Tips
Much less complicated but also more expensive is the demolition by a company. Choose this route, be sure to get quotes from different companies. The prices can differ by several hundred euros, which you would rather invest in the new arbor.
