Also know, how much does a 4x8 sheet of 16 gauge steel weigh?
There actually are simple 16 gauge steel is 1/16 (0.0625) inch thick, and steel weighs approximately 490 pounds per cubic foot > (0.0625 inch) (1 ft / 12 inches) (4 ft x 8 ft)(490 pounds/ cubic foot) = approximately 81.67 pounds.
Thus, a 10 gauge steel sheet which has a thickness of 0.1345 inches will weigh 41.82*0.1345 = 5.625 pounds per square foot.
