Has anyone built a floor for a pop-up hut. I'm thinking of doing that with mine and hoping to make it so that it can fold up and be pulled around. Any suggestions?

Buy a flip over.
Started with a one man flip, made for quick easy set up but space was limited.
bought a popup for more space.
Time went on and purchased a double pop up for days I have company.
On bare ice can stow the pop in the flip and have the convenience of a roomy base camp however if you want to move a round still got the flip to get out of the wind.
If snow throw everything on a smity sled
I bought a concrete insulating tarp. I cut it to fit my 9'x14' Rapala hut. I cut and sewed 12 evenly space out holes. I'll peg the tarp to the ice and then peg the the hut on top.
Absolute game changer for spending the weekend on the ice. I'll bring a matt for in front of my cot and will spend a lot of the weekend in my sock feet.
There are lots of Facebook groups, like Trick your Trap, that address this. They also discuss some really neat modifications you can make, best lighting, power boxes, glow cups, have plans for Smitty sleds as mentioned above etc. Most folks use those playroom floor mats which are light foam. Very lightweight, do not freeze to ice too bad, can cut ice holes out easily and keep the circles for covering unused holes etc. Gorilla tape keeps them together pretty well, can leave a half inch between sections and fold it easily.
I already have a 2 man portable hut, just hoping to figure out a floor.
Interlocking foam mats. Use a sled to pull everything out.
Yeah, I'll try that.
Thanks
kids foam Play matts is what I use in mine. But love the idea posted with the concrete tarp
Yeah, I might go with that. I was hoping to figure out a portable attached to a solid floor that folds up. That may be unrealistic seeing that I have to pull it out manually.
Any other ideas, thoughts?
