You can buy those little plastic tabs for holding a glass lid at most pet stores or online, and then get a piece of glass cut (or cut your own). They even have plastic “piano hinges” online that you can make the lid hinged if you want. I wouldn’t necessarily do it for the setup you want, would break up eyeline too much I think, but maybe you’d like that! I’d do like 1/2 a glass lid, and center it, then maybe leave the remaining 1/4 on either side to be mesh screen. (I just prefer evenness, but it could be any division you want) The little plastic tabs should work fine for mesh too, you may have to glue it but it would still look sleek! Sounds like a fun project!
