You could buy some "Solid Polycarbonate Sheet"

Not the cheapest but very strong and can be jig-sawed into the correct shape.
Cheapo plastic sheet will break easily.

Plenty of sites sell it, you just need to shop around to get a sensible price.
It will however scratch though.


You can of course just get another toughened glass panel cut.

Ideally you need to use the unbroken one as a template :thumbdown:

Is it glass or plastic on the other side? Homebase sells thick plastic sheeting, it's pretty durable.

No I don't work for them :hahaha:

Ahhh I see which roof you've got now
I would probably go with the plastic/perspex kind of option
