I've screened off an outside area with a timber frame, balustrade clamps
and 5mm toughened glass. The stuff that shatters into cubes.

The panels are roughly 1600x350mm.

I had the glass already (recovered from some display cabinets). Should
the panes bust i'll replace them with something thicker as and when but
i'm just wondering what to expect from them, they look quite flimsy in
the wild!

I could test them of course, I have a couple spare, but rather than make
a mess I thought i'd invite opinion?

If aesthetics aren't highly critical, could you do a sort of reverse
laminated effect by skinning the panes (on one side at least) with
some suitable transparent film?

The idea if they do 'go' for some reason at least the bits will stay
in one place?

Maybe some clear vinyl film as used for signs? Probably cheaper to
have the screen panes made up in thicker laminated glass ... ;-(
