Who has made a potter's bench with a metal top? [View all]

My husband built a great potter's bench out of 2x4s, but it's two inches longer than the awning. Thus, when it rains, everything inside the potter's bench gets soaked. One quick solution is to put on a metal top. So, here come the questions:

1) Are there metal sheets available for this kind of project?

2) Rust-proof?

If anyone has attempted anything like this, care to share your experiences?
