If you know anyone with a good welder, make one.
I have made one for my 500ltr tank out of 50x50x5mm angle.
Went to a local company that makes security fencing, with a cutting list.
All cut to size, cost about £75.

Was that steel or aluminium?

Stainless steel is rust proof - better to be safe than sorry !
