"Is this going to be a paludarium type design where you can look through the glass and right into the water?"



That is what I’d like to do. I may build a smaller scale version to test everything out. I've seen examples on the internet where they've used silicon to bond the glass to the wood for one side of the pool (their design was for an aquarium) and faux rock to make up the other sides, with the edges sealed with silicon. My design is made of wood, with sliding glass doors and a glass window into the pool. But, I'm not sure how well that would work or if somebody has tried something better.



"If the bond between the sealed wood and either the glass or the pond does not matter"



I'm not sure what you mean by that.



"1/4" glass will be fine but you should consider safety glass."



I was considering using tempered glass for the pool and doors. Safety glass would be better?



Thanks
