If it isn't a word yet, it should be! But yes, exactly. Just build it in a way that is easy to break apart in sections, transport, and rebuild.

Does anyone know the maximum width one could go on a portable deck section to transport down a highway before a special permit is required? 9 feet comes to mind, but unsure if that has changed over the years. Mahalo!

It depends if you move it during police shift change or not.

Come to think of it, width really doesn't matter when it comes to moving in the event Madam Pelé visits us, as we will all be heading the same direction! As long as I can hitch it up to the old 1 ton, put it in low low and keep ahead of her visit, and all will be good with the missus!

I would think that one could easily build the platform in such a way that it could be split in half easily, making eventual transport much easier.

Make the platform out of flatbed shipping containers...

A 30' yurt platform split in half would still be 15' wide, unless it's traveling vertically. I recommend looking at thirds instead of halves and quarters. Or just screw the decking and make a numbered plan when you take it apart and put it back together. That's likely the easiest for manpower and a simple truck.

Kalakoa, I was just reviewing the container base concept with a client last week. That's a BRILLIANT concept. Lava coming? Dismantle everything, put it in the containers, load and drive it all away until the lava cools. Either store it just like that until you're ready to set it back up, or rebuild elsewhere. Fantastic.
