If you leave enough tarp hanging over the sides it wil leave ample room to pile snow on the overhang and secure the structure to the ground. As for the floor if you make the portable from 8 foot pieces of plywood, and use the 6 foot height mentioned in this article, you would have 2 foot of each plywood leftover. This would be enough to create the floor for the area where you would be sitting. MN we never left these out overnight on the ice but we have left them setup in the yard for the entire winter.
