Paint it. Any roofing contractor that does metal roof work can spray it for
you. Ideally it would be sprayed before the rusting started. but they can
either spray over or clean the rust off. I would have it cleaned off and
painted. People also leave it untreated and they will last for years but
look ugly.

A couple of choices...if it is indeed just simple corrugated, can take
it off and turn it over and have a whole new side. The other basic
alternative is to use one the rust converter products to stabilize the
rust and then, optionally, paint. There are a bunch of online
suppliers available. I posted some links not too many months ago to
the same question. Look for farm product suppliers can help to locate
some less expensive alternative sources for sizable volumes than most
of the "regular" channels. Your local farm supply/farmers' co-op may
well have it in stock, in fact.
