have you the ability to center drill a couple holes through the steel rods? If so 2 holes in each (at the 1/3 and 2/3 of the coroplast lenghts) then smaller rod insertend through the holes and then zip tie the corplast to the smaller rods.


If you can not center drill use the same diameter rod, use a file to make interlocking notches, then drill from the flat side on each and use a small bolt or stainless wire to "Lash" them together.

to centerdrill with out a jig you can file a small flat (slightly smaller than the size of the drill bit) then centerpunch on the flat.
