Calling all engineers and tank builders

I should show the room and path otherwise, which is the reason for this feat. 🤣
Napkin math puts your 6ft L shaped 16mm panes at 125lbs/ea…

— 32mm bottom pane is ~95lbs…

— 19mm other bottom pane is ~80lbs

— short shallow 16mm vertical pane is ~40lbs

— short deep 16mm vertical pane is ~26lbs

— long deep vertical 16mm vertical pane is ~65lbs…

So, roughly 556lbs, just for the large format sheet glass!

This will definitely be a 2-3 man assembly job to safely position panes, and get it together within the working time of the silicone!

@Joe Glass Cages can someone on your team help a Cronie out?

This one cant be shipped or brought in the house. Has to be built in place. Happy to PM or give you a call.

I did dream of having ya'll build this on my behalf after visiting the shop and seeing the craftsmanship...

Posting again the picture of rough dimensions
