Depends on whether you are going to get problems with the pressure changing
due to wind direction etc. I've seen or rather heard so called toughened
glass just bow a little too much and disintegrate due to the differential
pressures of wind loading on each side.

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?
