   I saw one in the shape below, it's a piss poor drawing sorry,  made of metal and glass with a simple standing seam roof pitched to the back.

   It looked really cool the way it was done, for a bus stop, but what I liked was the lay out of the walls it was driving rain and the way the opening was layed out virtually no water made it's way inside

   Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic.

   I would give a lot of weight to safety and what in the boy scouts falls under "youth protection".  Keep it open on at least one side, for full visibility, no weirdos can do anything in the shelter.  If in a rural area (I assume so), you may want to think about facing the open side away from the road, so a perp driving by can't see that one girl (or boy) by her/himself waiting for the bus/others to arrive.  Think about sound direction, too, in case the worst did happen, so sound (yell/scream/whistle) can travel a direct route to 'friendly' houses, not directed across the biggest wheat field in Kansas.  Round here, if a dark hidden space is not occupied by black widow spiders, you find fiddlebacks instead.  Make benches such that you don't have small dark corners for spiders/etc to thrive.  FWIW

   My Uncle made one for his kids from an old outhouse.

   Seriously.

   He took the seat out and put in a full floor. And he moved it off the pit, of course.

   It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.
