It would rust, but you could give it a try if you really want to.

uhhh, I see where you are coming from, but no, it might work if you lube it up with crisco... But then again just spring for some nice plastic that will last you for a while...

depends on the kind of metal too. Carbide edges and aluminum don't mix. Stainless and titanium would probably work alright, but it'd be expensive.

i did it, have them cut it to size and bend down the edges for you and put holes in it so you dont have screws and get a thicker size, myne is 2 by 16 feet and paid about 150 for everything, get a thicker size.  Oh yeah it works perfect feels just the same as any plexi
