I’m new here. Most people build a shed or lay a patio at the weekend. I’ve spent the last 7 years doing a passivehause build. It’s been 18 years since I last kept marines. But now I a turning my attention to my tank build whilst I still plaster out and do 2nd fix. It’s gonna be big to make up for those lost years, that and the fact I’ve always wanted a show stopper tank. An over the door affair. 1000x800 footprint for the 2 side columns, 1000 bridge over the doorway and overall tank height of 2700. I’m planning to use 19mm laminated glass, 25mm for the base panels and 25mm top bracing.?Would welcome any ideas and suggestion in build up that may be of help/food for thought. Having just glazed my windows, several of which are 3000 tall I know the glass will be heavy. Thanks.
 
I'm guessing in a PassivHaus designed building humidity will be your biggest challenge. Have you given that any thought?
