Air Bag Jack - Lift?

[StitchUp]

While at Malvern I saw a motorhome levelled on air bags.
While useful for the motorhome, I also have another plan - our greenhouse is fixed to a base of scaffold boards, I'd like to raise the boards enough to get some wheels beneath to aid moving it.

As the gap beneath the boards is small, the air bag might prove useful BUT, I wouldn't be able to use the exhaust on the van to blow them up!

Any ideas where I can get these from - maybe use a foot pump to inflate.

I would think a foot pump would easily do the job.

These are the same principle.

Okay, I'll ask the 'elephant in the room' question, why do you want your greenhouse to be able to move around on wheels?

SWMBO has decided she wants the greenhouse relocate to a different position in the garden!! I just keep the peace

It so StitchUp 's sundial in the greenhouse works all day as that will stop Mrs StitchUp screaming down the garden that his dinner is in the dug if he ain't at the table in two minutes!

I had to turn a very large shed round some time ago. I used leverage to ease it upwards an inch or so at a time till it was high enough to put 4" underground sewerage pipe underneath, which allowed me to turn it around bit by bit until positioned where I wanted It.
Slow process but worked a treat.

In my mind, if the greenhouse isn’t lifted simmultaimusly on each corner, then any distortion will surely result in cracked broken glass

Never going to work on a greenhouse the frame is far to flimsy you will end up with most of the panes broken.

Its very easy to move a greenhouse done ours a few times, last time a couple of years ago.
Just take all the glass out, move the frame and reglaze.

It’s how I moved ours.

I bought some Flat-Jacks at Dusseldorf. Used them twice now, they can lift you around 5 inches. Though rock n roll is increased a little when you are on them but thats a price worth paying when you really need a lift. I would reccomend them if like us you don't have the space to lug gert big levelling blocks. Cost €99 per bag.

I moved my g/house to the skip, get my fruit and veg from ALDI much more satisfying

I think the MH on airbags at Malvern also used a couple of small axle stands under the front to give stability once it was raised up.

Yes, it's Mrs StitchUp's fault, we built the greenhouse exactly where she wanted it and now she wants to redesign the garden meaning the greenhouse has to move!!!
There's no glass in the greenhouse the 'windows' are made of thee clear packing material used on packaging some products and a nightmare to remove - I'm sure many of you will have encountered the stuff - can't tear it, can't do much with it except cut your hands trying to remove the item inside. TBH, it's excellent for a greenhouse
My plan is to get some furniture moving wheels beneath so I can move the whole thing over perhaps with Mrs StitchUp inside
The bags were just a thought but turns out, a rather expensive thought - will work something else out.

A cheaper alternative? Not a recommendation specifically but something like this or a pallet buster might do the job?
