In these three posts I will let my picture stacks do the talking and I'll just narrate. In this first stack you can see how the Visquine square was laid down over spot I had picked for the barrel. The duct tape on the railing marked where I would get the view I wanted out the front window from my easy chair.

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th pics show how small slits were cut between the floorboards of the porch and back deck to let any water drain. It seems to be, however, that short of a 6 inch rainfall or mindless over watering, that there would be no "drainage" with a pot this big. There seems to be no way to avoid refinishing the flooring in the event the barrel is ever moved but this degree of "protection" made sense to me.
