I commend you for trying to repurpose it.
Too many people just throw things out.
Try putting an add on your local Craigslist for a couple bucks or free.
Now what I do have is a metal pile hidden in the back of my barn. Now once a year I load this up in my trailer and sell it at the salvage yard. I might get a couple hundred dollars for a load. One thing I don't like the looks of as a bunch of junk around a house.
