Laminated would have been my choice in that case, more secure, more stable and cheaper as it can be cut off the shelf.
Not that I'd put it in a greenhouse, cheap agricultural glass or polyC if prone to breakage. PolyC twin if avail at a decent price.
Cheaper? It costs about 50% more than the price of toughened glass. A piece of 1617 x 610mm x 6.4mm laminated glass costs £94 inc VAT (free delivery) according to
The toughened glass I have lasted 10 years without problem, then two panes "went" in quick succession. That was 6 months ago and the rest of the glass (about 40 panes) has been fine. The two that broke are only a couple of metres from a public path and visible over the 1.8m fence.
Single 1200 x 610mm x 4mm polycarb sheets are £15 at B&Q. OK for a quick single replacement, but too high to do a whole greenhouse.
