I helped a friend of ours build a sectional portable deck for a seasonal site a few years ago. We laid out treated 2x4's in a "Z' pattern, and then screwed composite deck boards to them to create 4'x4' sections similar to the way a diagonally braced garden gate is built. We built six sections for an 8'x12' deck, but it could easily be more or less sections as desired. The sections are light enough to be easily transported and placed by one person, and can be placed either in line or alternating for different patterns. Our friend transported them on his SUV's roof rack, and supported them on site with ordinary clay building bricks and cedar shims to level them. As I recall, he anchored everything with 12" pole barn spikes driven into the ground.
