Can this be set up by one person alone? I want one for solo camping (widowed); don't want to have to ask strangers near me to help to set it up.

It's like everything else you have to do on your own: It could be done but it would be really hard. It's not intended for one person to do. I'm not fond of this tent, having used it for one camp of a week's duration. It did the job and held up to a pretty good windstorm, without guy lines, but it's just not a great tent. You can put it up alone but you'll be throwing poles before you're finished and I think there's a risk of tearing the mesh because it flops around a lot while it's going up.

I would say you do need more than one person. We set it up with just my husband and me and it worked well but four people makes it a breeze.

I believe it can be done as long as you can get all the corner pins into the corner poles first then get it staked down corner to opposite corner. It won't be too easy for one person, but I think it CAN be done. May take a little extra time.....good luck.

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.

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

I haven't done that,yet...I just pop the legs down and roll it into it's place behind some shelves. It explains in the instructions how to do it but I think it takes two people to be safe. I think setting it up was supposed to take 2 people too and I did it by myself. I am a pretty brawny ol country girl so I am used to things that require two being done by myself, alone. I love the thing.

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!

The set up is not so much complicated as it is involved. If there is any wind at all, it will be frustrating. One person can set it up, I would recommend two, beginner or not.

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.

no, but i think it can be done unless you are talking about 250+ lb guys. If you are a woman, I found it too hard to set u p. My husband had to help. I was looking for something I could set up by myself.

No it cannot. It is far too big for backpacking but it is great for just regular camping. It'd be plenty warm and roomy for one person if you don't want to use it for two.

Very honestly I would recommend finding a spot and not folding it up as it is a bit difficult to set up to begin with. Just my opinion, it does require a good bit of strength to fold out and fold up again. My second recommendation would be to have someone to help you. Franklin

Hello-Recommendation is 2 + individual with an approximate set up time of 1 to 1.5 hours. However, I do agree with the other answers provided, it depends on the persons setting up the tent. Thanks,Amber

You can set this up alone but it is a little tricky walking the legs out by yourself. There is a center locking piece that is easily managed and much sturdier than an ez up.... You will find people that will automatically help you when they see you at an event setting up!!! But yes you can do it alone!!!

Absolutely you will be able to set it up. It is very easy very light. Take steps in the right order and it almost sets itself up. Do not stake down the tent until it is totally set up then it is very easy

I put it together with a friend. The pieces can be a bit awkward to maneuver but I think you would be able to do it alone.

I have never done it alone, but I do believe I could if I had to. The tent is not difficult to put up.

My daughter owns it... However she stated that she has never attempted to us it alone. Sorry could not be more helpful.
