A friend of mine took 4 of them for the base (need to be same size) and put them on cover blocks so they weren't on the ground. She then laid peeps over that and put on vinyl flooring for easy clean up. She then secured to high all the way around, cut out spaces for Windows, a door and a run door, put siding on the outside, sheet styrofoam between the wall for insulation and plywood on the inside so chickens couldn't pick at it. For the roof she did a typical low pitch roof, you can see the rafters from the inside. I'll see if I can find pics to pay for you. It turned out pretty nice, nice and draft free
Before we built our new coop we made notes of what features we wanted. Like all nesting boxes are on one side and a lid gives us access to those, how many roosts, feeders attached to the doors so not taking up floor space, etc.

Whatever you do, make sure there are NO places a critter can get in and decimate your flock.
