Why on earth are you people using plastic, which can break off, fall off, melt, cause a fire or an accident, etc.?

Buy some aluminum trim coil. That's the material used to form trim panels for siding on homes. It comes in a roll several feet wide. It's easy to cut, easy to rivet or pierce for fasteners, not flammable, extremely lightweight, won't rust, etc.

I suggest you make a template out of paper before cutting it however. As with any carpentry you wouldn't want to cut it too short and waste material.
