    I dont know what gauge the metal is, I do know you can get small squares of light gauge stuff at Lowes and maybe HD in the hardware section. Probably not the most economical but handy.

    18 or 20 gauge is pretty easy to work with. Obviously avoid galvanized if you're welding it, any bigger hardware store should have a piece of sheet metal that'll work. Nothing special required, I made
