I was thinking of using a livestock water tub (about 4 feet long and about 2 feet wide made of metal) for a sulcata enclosure. I would not put a top on it and it would be easy to attach heat lamps or emitters to, what do you guys think??

Lots of tortoise/turtle keepers use these. They do also come in plastic.
You might also look into these.

(this is why I like doing this... their new website is much more useer friendly than in the past.)
The ground shipping is not as much as you would think.
