Glass, Thru a mates fish shop, he ordered the glass from glass supplier.

They are to stop the plywood bowing out under pressure.

how do you fit in the glss later?
The glass was placed in from the top, the braces you see running from front to back were not fitted until the end I just placed them on top of the structure to show what it would look like.
