Brier Bender's solution to hail destroying the 6 mil greenhouse covering was to use a router on all the spars and then invite a FRiend from the glass company out to share 2 cases of beer while he cut the double strength glass to fit. Every opening was DIFFERENT so I made 2 adjustable jigs to aide the glass cutter. Sealing the hubs was not easy and wood rot finally took its toll but it lasted almost 30 years…

30 years.....That is amazing. I don't think I would have the patience to cut all that glass though.
The hubs in my design are 3" sched.80 PVC, and the wood is bolted directly to the PVC. It makes for a tough, rigid structure.
