Can you tell me where the glass came from. I have a similar type installation that is underway and it has been challenging finding the size glass that we need. You said in a prior comment that the dimensions of the glass was 16" x 48"? I am not sure how this could be possible.

Would that glass be able to withstand winter weather as well? (Ie -40 degrees, hail, snow, etc.)

I don't have access to the specific specification of glass used here 15 years ago. I would discuss best options for you with local glass representative.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Debra Prinzing added this to Landscapes Make a Privacy Statement
Opaque panels look like glass, but I suspect they are some kind of unbreakable material. By slightly spacing each horizontal panel, the designer created an interesting see-through effect. This detail pairs beautifully with the dark-stained wood posts and more traditional fencing at the left.
Frank Organ added this to How to Design a Calming Minimalist Garden
Not so simple to install yourself, these glass panels allow light into the garden yet maintain neutral colors on the boundaries. The timber posts holding the panels allow the hardness of the glass to link with the adjacent timber fencing.
Laura Gaskill added this to How to Choose the Right Fence
Block a Street ViewWhen your home is on a busy street, creating a peaceful backyard space begins with the right fence. If you want to allow some light in, pick a fence with small gaps between boards (or even a lattice-like design) and layer lush plantings on both sides to provide additional privacy. Or try a frosted glass design, as shown here. As with privacy fencing, it can be helpful to test out the fence height you are considering before you commit.
Matthew Ankeny added this to 12 Delightfully Different Garden Walls and Fences
3. A mixed-materials fence. This glass, steel and wood fence incorporates three materials into a unified design. Architect Tim Cuppett says that the key element in bringing different materials together is that they “all reflect the same pattern and rhythm.”
Frank Organ added this to Pretty Trees for Patios, Paths and Other Tight Spots
Multistems. Multistem trees combine elements of both trees and shrubs; their benefits make them a great choice for smaller gardens. They can fill a small space while creating a feeling of openness that is not always achieved with a single-stem tree. They provide the benefits of a larger foliage mass and often the decorative impact of beautiful bark.Not all standards can be grown as multistem trees, but silver birch (Betula sp) is a favorite. As a standard tree, it would be far too large for a small garden, but it’s perfect as a multistem. Other good examples include the paper-bark maple (Acer griseum), snowy mespilus (Amelanchier lamarkii) and the Japanese angelica tree (Aralia elata ‘Variegata’).Shown: Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia sp)
Frank Organ added this to Think Turquoise to Energize or Soothe the Garden
Though not truly turquoise, this frosted glass creates the illusion of being turquoise by picking up the blue in the sky. Imagine how different the scene would be if the planted container were vibrant turquoise.
Lauren Dunec Hoang added this to 7 Stylish Front Yard Ideas for Homes on Busy Streets
1. Enclosed Courtyard With a FountainIf local building codes allow it, you can block the view of a busy street and gain a bonus outdoor room by enclosing the portion of the front yard just outside the front door. For this project in Austin, Texas, Tim Cuppett Architects used three-quarter-inch-thick panels of frosted glass to create a luminous screen that increases privacy without decreasing light. Another way to allow some light to pass through a fence is to choose a style that includes latticed panels or to leave small gaps between horizontally placed boards.Note: Your municipality likely regulates how high a fence can be and how far back it must sit from the street. So check your local building codes before starting a project.
