Something I hadn't thought about earlier is the insurance aspect, if
it's
horticultural glass as opposed to toughened
you might run in to problems there.



Highly likely that it will be horticultural glass.


I do not see what problems it should legitably raise though


I think you'll find allotments (or, the owner of the land ) require
public liability insurance;
and many allotment owners have children in tow. Horticultural glass is
thin and breaks into narrow shards
so would be a safety hazard.



I do not think that we are looking at a family outing project here
but more a project involving like minded horticulturalists.

But we are discussing hypotheticals here.

Perhaps R will come back with some clarification.

I would have thought however that public liability insurance only comes in
to play
when the location /event involves attendance by the public- not the workers.
