[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1792193, member: 39018"] Use a smaller sized tire if you want it portable. Bolt a circular cut steel bottom up against the bottom bead, sealed with sealant. Lots of guys build them this way too. Drill your holes for the bolts through the steel bottom first, then place the bottom against tire and drill for bolts through the bead, place sealant on bead, then refit the steel bottom and insert bolts (they should fit tight into the drilled holes so they won't leak). Draw the bottom up tight against the bead and the sealant. Put a large drain port of some sort in it if you'll need to be moving it... [/QUOTE]
