Green iguanas like things to climb. Are you putting any branches or anything in the new encloser for them to climb? If you do make sure it's not to high that they can get out. Sounds like it's going to be nice.

Make sure they have some shade to get out of the hot sun or the rain.

Ive keeped iguana's and sailfins before in S.E.A and I think the glass is a bad idea. It would get too hot in the hot season and the open roof would not provide much shelter during the rainy season. If your going to build an outdoor enclosure, it should also be able to withstand a typhoon. I would go with a rigid metal frame cage covered with sintered wire mesh or hardware cloth.
