Can it be set up by one person
1010986
I guess it could but you would have to anchor one side. It opens out. So optimal would be 4 people, one on each corner.
1010987
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.
1010988
Yes, but not easily. Once the canopy stretches a bit and is broken in, I had no problem doing it at the beach. You just have to continually walk around to each corner pole and pull each one out a little bit at a time until you can get underneath the canopy and simply push up on the center support. At that point you will need to make a couple of more trips around to eventually be able to snap the canopy into the poles. Then its just a matter of raising the poles to the desired height one corner at a time. It's not a fast process and not the preferable method if you have someone else standing around doing nothing...

I am not sure of the answer. I bought them for a school to use as shade in a playground and did not set it up myself, the maintenance staff did.

No two persons needed. Four is better. We use ours for trade shows and the beach almost every weekend. Product has been great so far. E-Z up tents are lighter weight. One person can put up but two or four are best.

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.

It would be difficult! It really is a two person task! Probably not impossible for one person to do but I wouldn't recommend it!!

This tent is very easy to set up... one person can set it up in less than 10 minutes, even a beginner.

1 person setup? Sure. Could probably do it 1 handed even, its dead simple ...1 person and a big dog? Might be overkill. Yet, if you're rained out for a day, you'd probably appreciate the extra real estate. . Btw the quality is worth more than the price.

As far as I can remember the answer is yes, I installed it a year ago for a family function and have not needed to use it again yet. Takes about an hour to set up and worked fine, read the instructions to do it right the first time.

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

It is possible for one person to set this up because of the accordion style frame. If you have additional questions, please call us at 214.491.6991 Monday thru Friday 9am-4pm CST.

Hi, it's one "set" for one person. Comms with another person would require another unit. Hope this helps.

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 have not tried that so I can answer for you. I will say the set up is easy as it gets. Took 2 minutes, maybe less
592339
I'm sure it can, it will take you about 40 minutes on your own. I set it up with my wife and it took us about 25 minutes
1569832
pretty easy, two person preferable, but one can do it as well. Make sure you have a drill though, that's the only extra thing you might need if pre-drilled holes are too small as in my case

I think one can set it up. It might be a little difficult but my husband and I set it up one at a time while the other chased around our toddler

I believe so. My husband put it together while I was gone one evening. He may have had the neighbor kids help with some simple stuff but generally I think it can be done by one person.

You might be able to do it, but it definitely would not be a one-man operation. It is not designed for this application.

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.
