Default replacement glass for patio table

How do I find a replacement piece of glass for patio table--hexagon, 52" X
52"? I have not been able to find a replacement and now sure where to
look or resources to check. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Gay

Take the table to a glass shop and they will cut one for you.

True, but it may be cheaper to buy a new table from China by the boatload
than a singe custom cut tempered glass.

It doesn't have to be tempered. Safer yes, but not required. If no
children are gonna be around it I wouldn't worry about it. 1/4" plate
glass lying flat inside a framed table is pretty hard to break. And if
safety is a concern, you could always have clear safety backing applied.

Outdoor it should be tempered. Forget kids, what about a tree limb or flying
debris? Ask any glass seller. That is still going to be a very expensive
piece of glass. A ball park for a 4' rectangle at a local place is $145.
Make it into a hex and the price would roughly double.
