I am brainstorming my new yard tank build/s. I used the calculator at one point but it seems to be for all glass. How do I determine the thickness to L x W ratio to depth to determine safety factor. Say for instance I have a depth of 6 feet above the bottom of the panel. The panel being say 1/2 inch standard plate glass with a height of say 16 inches of glass exposed to atmosphere height wise. What would be the safe "span" or length. Or if I want a 4 foot tall window, at a maximum depth of 5 feet with a 18-24 width, what thickness do I need?
I am going to start modeling the tank/s in cad when I get time from the sun in the following days and weeks.
Major construction will be from wood pylons and composite "wood" polymer decking and whatever else I come up with.
a section of the yard it will share as of today.
Any guidance is appreciated.
