This is a great idea ...
For a raft or swim platform ... and not really a pontoon "boat" ...
A boat, "" For me, at least in its most primitive definition is not only something that floats ... but also something that floats that "go anywhere" ...
And I can tell you, will certainly be difficult to get into something, as you describe ...
However, if you store them in a small pond, or if you just want something that floats, raft or platform or platforms, etc. ..
So I'll tell you ... I did 50 years ago with steel drums.
What I did was to create a "platform," head on the floor ... I have 1 sheet of 3 / 4 "4 x 8 in plywood and me (cons can not remember how many m 2 x 4 ".... but my floating dock" ... was 4 'x 8' on the size and the construction of a table of the ceiling beams, wood I nailed him turned around, and apart from my drums, so I like the space aft ... and I had
2 x 4 "framing barREL place.
As primitive as it was ... I have this dock to fish from one of the largest lakes on our farm. Of course, painted with a little color, my father told me I could ... and it was. ... Now .. "Spring" is gone. .. but now I have is an album of old family photographs that document 20 years of friends and family fishing outside "...

But if ... really build a pontoon boat ... I suggest you visit:

very clean, with plans and instructions for ...
I built one of the pontoons and a houseboat, and a few of their ships ...
have a good site with beautiful pictures ... Ideas ... etc.
Happy & Safe Boating.

Plastic drums are not a good material for pontoons. The force of water resistance is to do what used to hold together is to get through the material. You can make a floating platform with them, but not a boat.
If you find steel drums and welding operations in the vicinity of 6 to (3 not enough of them) and on each side and weld a piece of the nose in the face of a pontoon-Nice can be done.

You do not have to build a metal frame to hold the battery. With stainless steel aluminum, steel.
