I used rough cut cedar with polycarbonate for roof and sides.
2x6 for roof trusses spaced 24”oc, 2x4 studs 16”oc, 30” metal storm door opposite, sits on rail road ties, pea stone floor.

Found several hundred examples on YouTube. Watched quite a few of them and just started building. Been upgrading and changing things around as I went.

You probably shouldn’t actually connect it to the metal building. Make it self supporting.

Hope you find what you need. Just a word of caution. South cud get pretty hot. Allow for vents and shade cloth.
