cistern to storage shed

[brushtrooper]

At the ranch I have an old rainwater cistern that I want to make a storage shed. Need opinions on the door. I am debating cutting the door and hinging the metal to make the door or cut it and install a door frame with a regular door. I would do the cutting with a cutoff wheel and thinking I could brace the door and "frame" with flatbar to help hold the curvature. Just need a walk in door, it will be used for tool and small item storage, its about 6' diameter and 8-9' tall similar to the one in pic. Any other ideas?

It will be a neat conversion

It was one we laying around for several yrs. I converted one to a blind about 30 yrs ago. Killed one deer out of it and my ears rang for about 3 days. Would make a good bow blind though

What were you shoot'n? I shoot with a 300WSM Win M70 and I stick the muzzle all the way out side of the feeder and the blast doesn't bother me the least.

30-30 and I think barrel was right on edge of the cistern wall...dont really remember now. i was about 13-14 then, 44 yrs old now. I do remember the ears ringing Its still sitting in the same spot today, no one ever used it again.

I'm anxious to see pics of what you come up with. Might be easiest to cut out the door, then just frame in a traditional door?
