If you google "modular decking", you'll come up with a bunch..but probably not what you are looking for, as they are (most) expensive systems that you buy. I built one for a guy some time ago...heavy tho', as it used 2x6's instead of 5/4 board for decking. This was necessary, as the running edge where two sections connected were 2x10's...half overhanging the one permanently fastened, then it overlapped the other section (which was short by about 4-1/2") then lag screws were run down into that next section (predrilled countersink). Not sure if this is clear or not, but it worked well for him...it pulled it up once a year, two guys could handle each section without any problems.
Personally, I'm designing a "boardwalk" system right now for our Monty, using composite decking and it will literally roll up. I want this instead of one of those patio mats. Of course, I'll be at the mercy of the ground contour.
