Title: broken window in camper, not sure what to use to fix.
Post by: syoungs on August 09, 2013, 04:07:54 AM: my new hunting trailer came with 2 broken windows, these are horizontal sliders and are pretty good size. my original thought when I bought it was spend a few bucks for some plexi, seal it in and call it good.

then I saw the price of plexi... it would cost me 100$ to do it in plexi, twice that in lexan. but the local home depot has glass sheets sitting there for about 15$, im worried if I use that glass itll just break going down the road, or if a branch hits it, itll break right out. I think it is made for replacement glass of home windows, but it might be for craft use, didnt look that hard.

my next thought was go to a glass place and have them cut me some sort of tempered or safety glass, but havent looked into that yet.

What would you guys use? im not trying to spend alot, but I need to get the plywood thats installed right now replaced with something a little less hokey to keep the girl happy :tup:

flower boxes seem like not such a bad plan lol...
