is this tent easy to set up? I will be myself and two little girls who won't be able to help much.

The kids I gave this to are 9 and 11 and they said it set up easily. I wasn't there but they weren't gone from the party when they sent a picture via their phone showing it up it their great room. They love it.

it's a 3 pole system, 2 long poles make an "x" across the tent- slip them in the sleeve, put the ends into the little peg on the ring that is on the corners, connect the clips, and it's standing. the 3rd pole is for the fly- it makes the overhang of the door. it has bungee cords and ties to keep it in place. it will take you longer to decide where to put it than it will to set up the tent. once you get the hang of it- about 5 min.

The tent came with everything needed to set it up, which we did during a rain storm. It took us roughly 2 hours. The first time you set it up is the hardest. I would buy this product again.

I have been using this tent for about 8 weeks now at my local greenmarket. I always have someone help me and I would not want to set up by myself. It is not easy to get the legs raised and locked into place with just one person. Often my husband has to get underneath and push the tent up in the middle to get it properly expanded. I hate the set up personally, and hope I never have to do it alone. The breakdown is not that easy either. When the legs are locked in the grooves, they are really locked. It's hard to flip the locks back open to release.

Its a great little tent but trying to fold it down is a bit challenging...it has to twist in certain ways. Hard to keep the flower on top. Have to remove a couple of supports at floor area. Hope this helps!

Yes, my husband and I consider this a easy/quick set up and take down screen tent. You put it up with "bendy" poles that have the elastic cord connecting them. All you do is unfold the poles and slide them through the loops on the tent. As you slide the poles through the top loops you snap them into place along the sides. There are hook type loops on the bottom four corners of the tent that secure the poles in place has you "pop" it up. There are stakes that you can use to secure it to the ground, but if you have no wind you do not have to use them. Hope that helps :)

It was not hard to set up. I have older kids so we all set it up together. It is tall, so two people would be ideal. The hardest part to me was the guide lines. The instructions were not clear on how to set these up.

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

I can't say one can set this tent up "easily". It's possible but I find having a second person to hold up the center crossed poles (giving center height) while securing the pole ends in the keepers is less stressful on the tent.

Not bad. Two longest center supports are much easier w two sets of hands, but I was able to do it myself. Love this tent!!

God bless those of you who could set it up by yourselves. We used two adults and while I would not say it was too hard, it certainly was not easy enough to do by myself. Though I do admit to pretty much being a novice camper. Sounds like a skilled adult is needed and that is not me

The tent has plenty of space, however I returned it. The setup on this tent is very difficult for even two people.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

yes, one person can easily set up this tent. I would set it up once inside before setting up in the wild, for practice.

Yes one person can set it up and take it down. The tent is already put together all you have to so is unpack and adjust pies to lock in place. Then once that is done you are ready to camp in the tent

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

Yes I set it up by myself. It has two tent type poles, one that goes across the front and forms the semi-circle and one that goes from the middle of the front to the rear. The only problem I have had is with wind. The small stakes they provide pull out of the ground easily so I switched to real tent stakes and that solved the problem. I really enjoy the net.

Not to hard. It took me and my husband about 10-15 minutes to set up the first time. Considering it's size, it's not bad at all.
