<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>No experience, just gut reaction, is that it may indeed fry like an ant. But maybe a mesh / UV filter on the underside of the glass that you can slide on/off could minimize the heat gain and give a ventilation system the opportunity to equalize conditions?<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Consolas, Courier New, Courier"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'>I'm not worried about dealing with the details of glass since this<BR>
isn't my first salvaged glass deck. What is a first for me is putting<BR>
a green roof under it.<BR>
The 10'x20' deck would sit 2' above the green roof, allowing access<BR>
and ventilation on at least two sides.<BR>
My concern is that the green roof would be under a magnifying glass and fry.<BR>
Or would it be happy throughout winter as in a green house?<BR>
<BR>
Anyone? Or does anyone know of a good green roof forum???<BR>
