The Outback Porta-Privy does not have a sewn-in floor. It does come with
a separate floor made of the same stuff that plastic tarps are made of.
There are Velcro tabs that let you "clip" it into place, but I never
bother, it sits on the ground just fine. However, if you are in a
situation where drainage of gray water must be controlled, then there
are no provisions with this privy for that.
