Default CorTen

I was wanting a guess as to what weight these panels I have been putting up
by myself weigh. Now that I have a system, they are much easier, but still,
a PITA with all the rigging and rerigging. One piece is 3.5' x 7'. I have
two pieces to complete the 40' run.

I have found a value of 1.83# / sf for 18 ga., but this stuff looks thicker.
I do not have a gauge gauge. It is a common seagoing container. The
stickers say not to replace or repair with anything but Corten, but after
that, I find little information. The tare weight is there for the whole
container, but that includes beams and doors, floors, et al, and I know I
could not get a value per square foot for just the siding.

Any SWAG's or educated estimates?
