Advice on protecting greenhouse glass

Hi

I am in the process of putting together a greenhouse on my allotment. The site has a history of a lot of vandalism (not much recently though) and the glass always seems to be the prime target.

Has anyone any suggestions on how to protect the glass as I do not want to use polycarbonate?

I was thinking along the lines of netting or wire mesh but not really sure. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Aubergine.

Chicken wire, but I think it would have to be quite taught so it may distort the frame.
Fablon on the inside would stop it shattering if it was broken

There are some green houses on our site that have chicken wire up and over the top, i havent got round to doing mine yet. i have palced it next to the hedge and on the side of the shed i know lose some light to it but it might save some glass.

Nice long lengths of inch and a half square should be enough to hold the wire if its fixed in nice an deep in the ground.
