Message: [QUOTE="brokensword, post: 478463, member: 3486"] yep, super useful; I'd even consider making this a sticky AFTER some time has passed and you find out if there's any issues down the road, which I sincerely hope you don't! It looks amazing and it's quite a personal feat! You're to be congratulated for both your perseverence and willingness to learn and try something new. Not everyone would have kept at it the way you did! And hard to imagine there's no bowing with such a long piece of glass, so monitor as time passes. You can take a string and stretch it taut, one end to the other and see if the middle of your glass deviates at all. Easy, quick to do. I DO, however, love the look of it! Would have thought you'd need some sort of reinforcement across the top and even a cross brace, but again, time will tell! I bet getting that glass in place was a heavy job! The largest concern will be how it does with varying seasons, temps, precip, etc. What are your winters like? Any chance of frost/snow/sub-freezing temps? That's where issues might arise. I wonder too about expansion if you get any real hot temps but on a mountain, I bet you don't have that. [/QUOTE]
