You can contact any local welding shop. They can cut a piece of light gage sheet metal any size you want. Personally, I would recommend 14 gage steel or aluminum. It is about 0.77 thousandths of an inch thick, about the thickness of the cardboard back on a writing tablet. An air conditioning service can provide galvanized / tin material but I think it takes a special / acid wash/ primer conditioning to make paint stick to it. Both places can round the corners and drill mounting or hanging holes for you. Wingman<br><b>References : </b><br>Experience Hello Amanda47.
