If it's flat stock, it won't have much strength, which is why I suggested angle bar. The angle bar will give you a lot of support, whereas the flat sign stock will just flex when it has weight on it.



Here's an example from Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-x-36-in-Aluminum-Angle-Bar-with-1-16-in-Thick-801377/204273984

I would suggest something a bit thicker, like maybe 3/16", but the 1/8 might work fine  :nod:

JackJ:
I would use C Channel for extra rigidity

I went with the plate and the angle bar I probably should have just ordered the new lid from Ranger for $ 118.18 plus shipping Oh well next years project
