The problem I see with this...the top is a compound angle of 5' x 39' plus (miter saw only cuts wood ) my welding skill do not include aluminum or stainless... See solution below

I have plenty of the material left if you want me to throw a couple together for you, no charge. I'd need you to send me a wood template that's the right length and has the correct angle cut on each end. Or I could just bend some angle stock and you can cut it to length and bend the ears on the ends. Call or PM me if you're interested.

I will...
