In the Brooder

What are thoughts on using a metal raised bed as a brooder? I'm struggling to find something affordable for 22 chicks. We are in Michigan so it is still pretty cold and my husband is in the process of building a coop that he will run electricity to. We do not have a garage and only a finished basement. I was thinking of buying a 8x4x2 ft metal raised garden planter off Amazon and putting hardware cloth over the top to accommodate them all. Thoughts? I had found a used 8x4x2 stock tank on Facebook but of course it sold before I could look at it. That size is 329$ brand new around here. Just thought I could use the raised bed outside then after we were done. Plus having a 4ft side we can get it in and out of the house.
