The structure of the rectangular steel tube depends on all four sides being intact. Replacing a short section of the bottom with solid wood with drain grooves cut in it as an inside "cripple" will effectively accomplish that structurally. The holes drilled in the frame were by EZ loader and do not effect it in any material way as much as not having four sides bracing force against one another lest you drill five holes top to bottom in a row or something silly like that. I can use their holes once the block is in place and snug it in there. Blocks are cut and next warm day I'll go slide them in and snug them down.
