I'd look around at lumber yards to see what they have to offer price wise. The stuff Menards has is a thin guage and can be cut with snips or shears. Generally is painted (I believe powder coated), so don't try to cut it with a metal blade, it'll heat the paint and ruin it, which protects the metal. Good galvanized lasts forever, but aint cheap. When you screw it down, use the self tappers with rubber grommets to seal around the screws. Not bad to walk on when the sun's beating on it or it's warm, but when it cools off, if pitched, ya' oughta have wings, cause you are gonna slip, slide, and ya' oughta have wings. OUCH! My soles hardened and and stopped hugging any screws I'd already put down that were giving me grip. Can be a quick trip down a long way, the hard way. Been there, done that, didn't have wings. Slip, bang, OUCH!, slide, WHOA! splat, OUCH! like it happened yesterday.
