Think a little bigger. Since you don't have to haul it anywhere, weight is not a factor. Get a big roll of semi-transparent plastic of appropriate size. Heavy weight (at least 6 mil). Also get a lot of heavy cordage and run it around the room outlining the "box". Then run the plastic over the cordage and with a little tinkering you will have two large sheets that make up five of the six sides. The floor can take care of itself. Work out the details now instead of at midnight with another "polar vortex" on the way (which explains the freezing rain) and your fever having just crawled past 103 degrees. Now put it away and don't worry about it but once per year.

Just to show that I am not overly glum or anything, here is a joke-

Cop pulls over a sweet little old lady intending to tell her that she has a brake light blown. She hands him her papers and he is about to give her the soft delvery and send her on her way when he notices that she has a "concealed carry permit." Somewhat surprised, he asks her if she has such a weapon with her at this time.

She replies very sweetly that yes, she has a pistol in her purse, another on the seat beside her, a third in the glove compartment, and a fourth in the pouch of her driver's door.

Understandably taken aback, the cop says, "Mam', I don't mean to be rude, but what on earth are you afraid of?"

The sweet little face beamed up at him and replied, "Not a damn thing, officer."
