I read something a while ago about a guy who had a old ATM converted into a gun safe. Just the door was 200kg or something, lol.

For a 120cm x 90cm sheet (or some size like that) it was about $1,200 plus the cost of cutting it
Google for a steel sheet metal place near you and give them a call and see if you can get some off cuts or something.
Hopefully only cost you a fraction of that,
