Why are you switching to glass? Be much better to have polycarb as its R factor is MUCH higher than glass. Light transmission is very high as well.

yeah I know first of all i think the glass looks better, second of all when im standing under the glass it gets alot hotter thn the poly

Oh, well I hope you have some shading in perspective and a heck of an exhaust fan to move some air, it will be hot in there on a totally sunny day. Even now in NY, my greenhouse tops out at 85F the past couple of sunny days, the lowland grow chamber gets to 95+F and thats in polycarb.
