316 or better is definitely the way to go, but.... have the fabricator put the quote in writing, placed in a sealed envelope, and don't read it until you get back home. That way you can be sitting down on something soft when you read the sticker shock Plastic crates won't be nearly as ugly then (They can easily be hidden from view with fence panels, bamboo curtains,...)
