I place early portals in a cupboard made from wall pieces and a door when they are in small cramped buildings. This works fine to dampen the effects when you work on other stuff nearby. Either that or I put it outside.

I had not thought of that. Just what a viking needs for a single portal in a cramped building.

I cannot say I'm thrilled about the amount of materials needed to build such a cupboard. Since the distance at which the effects are triggered is greatest from the front of the portal, I'm wondering if I can dispense with the walls and just use single or double doors.
