Stick with 8x2x2, heaps big enough and you could probably set 3 of em up for the price of the one you''re looking at.<

try contacting a local glazier, or glass window repair man,not a large company just a small time contracter - they may be able to help you with the glass - and then get someone to glue it all together if you cannot do it yourself,unless you can. Cheers<
