Pond glass panel question

[batang_mcdo]

Hi Guys,

I'm still in the process of planning my pond , for the glass panel ,
which would look better? which would be able to take more pressure?
for the same thickness

1 5 feet x 2 feet panel?
or 2 3 feet x 2 feet glass panel?





thanks,
Archie

Btw planning to use 1/2 inch Tempered glass for the glass panel.
Can i use a 6 x2 sheet?

I would do a 6x2 sheet half inch thick with dual center braces.

It wouldn't affect the front view. It would just be along the top of the tank. Kind of like a normal aquarium has.

thanks!! I'm interested how it can be done
I think for the brace i can use normal glass? and just have tempered glass for the viewing panel?
I should also have a U channel to hold the brace?
is the center brace the one whioch is holding the aquariums back and front together so it doesn't bow?
if that is the center brace, Its gonna be hard for my pond, as the length will be 12 feet from back to the front viewing panel.

Which would be a better adhesive to use? Dow corning acetic cure silicone? Or sikasil ws 305 which is neutral curing?
