how difficult is this item to put up for just one person?

Much easier with 2 people, but one could do it. My husband has done it alone many times.

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.

I wouldn't want to do this alone on a regular basis, although I do agree with others that it is possible if necessary. I also agree that you'd be hard pressed to find any canopy this size that would be easy for one person to set up.

I've put up and taken down as one person. Takes probably 5x the time (2 mins for 2 people approximately). For the size, I don't think any other product would be easier.

Assembly is not difficult -- it is easier with 2 people, but it can be done by one person. I recommend reading the instructions carefully. If you follow the directions, you should not have any problems.

assembly pretty easy for one person, but once assembled you will need help moving it as it heavy

It is one piece. It is not huge so I was able to hang it by myself. It was pretty easy.

You have to build it yourself. It's not hard just needs two people. Put it together on an hour

I'm a healthy 60 woman, and I put it together by myself. HOWEVER....it almost required standing on my head. It took me about three hours by myself. Definitely try to have a second person for balancing panels and holding things level! That being said, it's a nice piece for the price and solidly holds a large flat screen TV.

One person can set it up easily, I never did use the extended legs because it is to high and tipsy if the wind is blowing.

at least an hour with 4 people to put up and easy down 1/2 hour - no instructions so takes a while each time to remember

It is very easy. Once you know the direction to almost twist it on itself you're good. It can be done by one persone.

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! :)

Not hard at all. In fact, I usually set it up one handed. I'll velcro it onto the cart once I get her in which is not an issue.

I have put it together 4-5 times solo, it takes some practice, but once you figure out one side needs to be anchored to raise it, setup isn't so bad.

I'm not sure that it can be done by one person.... It took two people about an hour and a half but only because we didn't follow instructions and had to go back a few times to redo a few thing... Take off protective plastic before final assembly

One person can indeed put it up. And it's so easy. Just loosely stake it to the ground and insert the center pole. Then you can go back out and tighten the stakes where they need to be. And it fits 3 cots plus some gear nicely. This will be our 2cd year using it.

The assembly is not really difficult. Some parts are pre-connected. Just take note which one is the head part and the feet part. But all in all, it's easy. One person can do it.

It's easy to put up anywhere. You can do it with one person but it's easiest with 2.

Not difficult at all, 1 person can do this if he/she has ability to use tools.
