We have a building out back and the windows were busted out last weekend. The building doesn't have any heat or anything. It's just to park one of my cars in. What is the cheapest glass I can put in these windows?

Since you don't really live in that building, I would go with something like a single pane glass. However, if you could afford it the double panes are much nicer. Cool

I'm just looking for a cheap quick fix so to say. The windows aren't facing the house, but it still concerns me that animals or anything might get in. Since I have my car in there I want to keep that protected as much as possible.

Is the building in great shape or is is more like a ran down shack? If it's something real nice, I would try to put at least a decent set of windows in to make it more curb appealing.

It's more ran down than anything. I just keep an old car that I am restoring in it. Do you think I should replace the windows or just board it up? Curb appeal doesn't matter much since you can't see the building from the road.

If it's an old building and curb appeal doesn't really matter I would just board the windows up with a few 1X12's. If you want them replaced later down the road it would be nothing to take those off.
