    You'll probably have to go to one of the custom glass shops like CR Glass. All the local hardware stores (ace, lowes, hd, menards) I've checked only carry thin sheets (around 1/8").

    It's all special order. They don't cut thick glass, think they said 3/8 is thickest they do

    I had a piece of 1/4 cut yesterday at allied glass they should have 5/16 all you have to do is call with your measurements and they will cut it to the size you need.

    I picked up a 60 cube for free from my LFS if had the bottom pane checked and a chip out of one corner. I'm having a hard time finding 5/16 glass(icould get 1 24x24 for 110$ not going to happen)think I could use 1/4 in glass for the bottom and a side and euro brace the1/4 side to keep from bowing. Our plan b make nice glass shelf.
