Metal Shed for Ducks?

I know there are a few other threads about metal sheds, but I think I've seen more so for chickens, so I wanted to post to check. Could one be okay for ducks (and maybe some chickens since they were raised by ducks)? I'm worried about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. I think insulating for winter would be easier than cooling in summertime though. Are they considered not as secure/sturdy?

And would it need windows? If there are already vents on it, would that be enough? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunmthin...ckable-Lean-to-Design-Vents-Brown/16613558774

I've seen online various sheds for cheaper prices. Especially if they don't have a bottom to them (and then we'd just build our own flooring for it).

To add for clarification, I need a tall enough space because I also have a couple disabled ducks, so I need easier access to get to them and carry them in and out. So that's why I'm looking for a walk-in-sized space.

Thanks in advance!
 
We found a huge doghouse on Marketplace that the roof lifted off so we can get at the ducks if we have to. It does have a window too. It was built for a Malamute thus why so large, but it works perfect. You might look to see if you could find something like that. Otherwise, your shed would be nice, but it seems like it's overkill unless you need some storage area too.

We're in Wisconsin and whilst we insulated the coops and heat them to 40F, the ducks just get their fancy house as they can tolerate a lot colder than chickens can.

Ours get locked in this pen at night, then free range during the day.
