If you chose that, go to your local scrap yard (recycler of scrap metals) and ask for old road signs, often sold by the pound, right now it's about 50 cents a pound for aluminum, so it will still be a little pricy, but a lot cheaper than going to a meatl dealer and asking for virgin sheets. (sold by the square foot and a lot more expensive)
However, polymer resin is far lighter, just as strong, just as permenant and about the same price as the scrap aluminum.
I got a whole stack of that metal once in a trade, it was conveniently in my way anyhow, so I used some of it on my cage.
Had I been forced to pay my way, I would have chosen polymer resin... But since I have a pile of aluminum, I used that for free VS buying poly resin.
