are you talking about steal or aluminium. and if you are gonna use quarter inch plate make it L beams. and test it before getting under it. Be sure to test it for prolonged periods of time. Because though somethings might not break instantly given 2 hours of load or so they could easily break. But your best bet is not going cheap.
