That all aside, .26 and .24 gauge will suit you well. For cutting, I just used a metal cutting blade on my circular saw. A sawzall will do it just fine, but you'll want to hold it down so it's not bouncing all over the place and cutting a straight line may be challenging. That goes the same with a jig saw. You can cut with tin snips, but you'll regret every second of it and the cuts won't look good either. For securing to the wood, you could pre-drill pilot holes and use whatever wood screw, but you'd be better off with self-taping sheet metal screws. Those are still course thread and will work fine in the wood. The more fasteners you use, the less strain on each fastener, but you don't need to make it look like a battleship.
    Good information, thank you! I'm sure I can find something that I can cut sheets with.

    Although I kind of fancy the battleship look....

    Skill saw with disposable fiber blades gives decent cuts. Or an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. Clamp a 2x4 as a straight edge if using the grinder.

    25 N to exit 402. Go west till you see the small sign on the south corner, leaning against the light pole. Definitely call them first and bring a truck. You start wandering around and who knows what impulse buy items you might add to the list.

    ETA: know prices before you go. You might think it's a good deal. Between the drive and cost, it might pay to buy new, or not.
