I've screened off an outside area with a timber frame, balustrade clamps

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?

I assume that it is just screening against the wind and not to stop
someone falling over an edge?

At 5mm thickness and only 350mm wide, I'd say that's far more than good
enough - as long at the framing and clamps aren't moving around and
imposing any twisting loads. 4mm, un-toughened glass used to be normal
for pretty large, single-glazed windows.
