Top for a rescued (dumpster dived) wrought iron table

I actually DUG this out of a dumpster! I'm looking for a top for it which is an actual galvanized tin (or a similar material) round tray with short sides with handles on each side. The top is 27 inches in diameter, but I could use one that is bigger. I saw a top like this in a post which was purchased at WalMart, but it was considerably smaller. Any ideas on where to find something like this or a suggestion for something like it? I will try eBay, or I may have to have it made. Any help would be appreciated!

Would it support a glass top? They can be a little heavy depending on the thickness of the glass and I don't know how strong the legs on your table are

I have used plexi-glass before....works, but I prefer glass...go to a salvage type shop? Love your table... wood will do also! Love your table!

I love your table, surely you're not thinking of anything on top that would hide the design, then, it must be glass or plexiglass,. glass is a little tricky

Lovely little table. It looks like it folds up? If it does, adding a bigger table top over the existing one could be a problem for when you want to fold and store it. I think glass would be too heavy. I would just rust treat and paint this table and leave it as it is. It is so pretty I think you scored a good one with this little table for free.
