Can a single person set up the tent?

I would say with some practice yes one person could set it up, if you are staking it yes.

yes, you probably could. The biggest challenge is flexing the poles, but I think it can be done. Most smaller dome tents are easy to set up.

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 it can be set up by one person. It gets easier each time. It can be heavy for the ladies. And watch out for wind, it must be weighted or tied down.

YesI am able to set it up and break it down by myself. Though it takes some time to do it because it is quite heavy. It's possible to do it alone yet easier to have someone help you. I enjoy how sturdy this tent is as I use it quite often at craft fairs.

You would have to sleep diagonally, making it a one person tent. The problem is the sloping walls.

Easy. I have set up this tent by myself many times. Always in less than 10 minutes. Last time I went camping my husband/wife friends took about twice as long as me to set up their tent together. You won't really find a simpler tent design than this.

Cannot answer. I bought my tents for my children. It is part of their emergency kits and they have not had the opportunity to use it as of yet. When they do, they will let me know. I bought a tent form coleman similar to this and you definately need 2 people. Someone has to be on the opposite side when you pop the poles up. Can't possibly see how one person can do this!

Yes you can. Stakes will help stretch out the tent, but the tent will stand up on its own.

In answer to the question- "Can one person set up this tent?" --YES, easily. I set it up in my kitchen when I first got it so I could take my time and work out any problems. I had NO problems whatsoever. Read the directions, follow them step by step, and the next time you set it up will be Quite easy. Have fun! :)

It takes only a few minutes to set up but you need 2 people. Getting it down u need 2 people to or you might break it trying to get it down by yourself.

It can be set up by one person, yes. It will be roomy for one person and a big dog. You'd have room for a backpack an gear too.

Short of unpacking and setting it up......you can fit one adult in there with gear or a husband and wife (people who don't mind being close. Great for one person with gear; two if necessary.

No it cannot not be opened with one person. In fact my wife and were unable to get it open by ourselves. It takes an individual on each pole to fully erect the structure but it is quite sturdy when you get it done.

I would not pack it if I were solo. Would be pretty easy for a few people. It would probably pack down enough into a smaller tent bag if you made a separate bag for the poles. That would also be a good way to split the load. It would sleep 4 people nicely and 5 snugly.

Yes it could be set up by one person however it will take longer to do so. My husband and I set it up in 15 minutes the first time we pitched the tent.

Its what I use mine for. It was my go to for a few years but I have since upgraded. This tent is still perfect for a single person (two if you really like each other) that just needs some basic shelter.

Yes. I set it up all by myself all the time. Much easier with 2 people and the first time it will take awhile. Once you have the hang of it, it gets much easier. I can get it up in about 10 minutes. Helpful tip for 1 man assembly...Anchor it to the ground first, then work from back to front.
