:help::help:

i was wondering if i would be able to make a few caves out of sheet metal since i got alot at work but i was concerned about rust because steel ,sheet metal does rust itts fairly thin metal but the rush might be a problem and if i cover with silicon and add rocks or sand to cover the whole thing would it be fine then?

OR
will i need to use aluminium since it does not rust ???

use aluminium, are you welding, if you are than you need to use aluminium feed or stick
