Instant layout, can fold and roll. 5' x 9' gives you enough room for some interesting plans. Find a friend or family member with a pick-up truck and go snag one.
I was also going to suggest, maybe find a table on craigslist. My 3x3 layout is support by a table I bought at Target, surprisingly stable.
