Outdoor enclosure question

[RemyRemingtonDtortoise]

Hi, I am new to this forum! And I am going to upgrade my Russian tortoise enclosure today he is about 5-6 inches and I can't really build an enclosure from wood. But the one I currently have is a glass one 24x12x12 (and yes I do know that they don't know what glass is and that is another reason why Im upgrading it). So I was thinking about purchasing a plastic bin but tape it around it so it's not as clear. And here is the link to it https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-66-Quart-Stadium-Blue-Ultra-Storage-Box/45924275?select . Please respond with recommendations or answers!

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
