    I am going making some cheapish windows for an old shed in the farm. They wont be opening or closing and just a cheap job. Basically using a door frame and a putting ordinary glass into it just to stop the rain coming in.

    the glass will need to be about 34x34 inchs. I have a glass cutter and can do that myself.

    Where is the best place to buy sheets of glass for this. I have 8 windows to do. I'm in Cork btw

    Rapid glass would do them for you, or have you thought about using perspex?

    I had thought of Perspex but would the sun affect that after a few years and discolour it?

    Takes more than a few years, a lot safer too.
    I think most of the stuff now is UV stabilised to resist yellowing.

    AFAIR, it comes with two plastic protection layers, one green and one yellow so one is outside and the other inside.

    I have polycarbonate in a roof for 20 years and its still as good as new, its not see through...
