Is the pole easy enough to install and take down to allow me to have it up long enough to use for an hour or two then take down till the next time?

Yes. I got in u tube and watched and it made sense after watching the video. I like the pole a lot other than my complaint about packaging

it is fairly easy, would probably take about 15 min to install and 5 to take down.

Yes it is...I move it around from room to room & take it to friends houses. It goes back to secure with a few twist.

It's easy enough to install and take down on your own even with the simple tools they give you in the box. The video instructions are quite clear and helpful.

Yes it is easy to install. You'll need at least a pair of pliers. A small crescent wrench is even better. Good directions with the product. Good luck.

Yes, when both pole are put together and fully extended. It is surprisingly easy to handle it at this length also.

Not long. May be 2 hours. I don't move it around and it is not an issue for me.

It's easy. There are only two long poles and they fold up easily. Takes less than 5 minutes to put up or take down.

Absolutely! It is super easy to do. It literally takes about 2 minutes to pop it up. It comes out of the storage bag, fold the legs down and pull up in the middle and hook it at the top. To take it down, unhook, push down in the middle, fold the legs back up and stick it in the bag. I had the whole thing up and down in about 5 minutes.

Not difficult at all, takes about ten seconds, and there is a mark on the column as to how far Fishman suggests you set it, but you can use your own discretion, taking into account how high you'd like it, the space you have, how likely it'll be for anyone to bump into it, etc...

It only takes about 20min to install. You could do it buy your self if you are strong enough to set it in place, put up the brackets and slide unit in, the 2 drop down bolts. It is so worth the money and gives you great shade when you need it. Make sure you close it if the winds are going to be strong.

No. It is just on a "bendable arm". So, that is about all the adjusting you can do. Up and down on the pole is not something you can do.

Very easy! The long poles attach to the the legs with 2 secure attachments. Very easy and safe.

I take put it up and take it down with each use and its super easy to tear down and put back together, it comes apart into small enough sections to easily transport. I took my on vacation and decided having a carrying bag/case to put it all in would be helpful because of needing to take along the pole plus the small tools it comes with.

Yes, it is fairly quick to take this down, but much faster going up. Set up is just giving it a quick hard shake and it will pop open, insert the cross bars for the supports. Taking it down remove the support bars, line up the edges and give it a twist to get it back into it's circular shape to put it back in the storage bag. Make sure you stake it down well if you have strong winds though.

Easily! It's basically 2 posts and 4 stake points. It'll be up and ready in about 10 minutes! Check out this video if you haven't already:http://youtu.be/vNF00424ZYI

It takes me about 5 to 10 minutes to take it down and put it up. I use boat winches with d rings to pull it up and down. I put 4 posts up with pulleys on it. It works great once you get it set up. I hope this helps

Yes, I just got mine last week and its very easy to setup and take down. It took my girlfriend and I less than 10min to get everything set up and about the same time taking it down.

Yes.....but only for the first usage. As after that there will be no need to have it attached to your pole. It may be inexpensive and it is not worth even 12 bucks. Best of luck.

I consider myself handy and it took two adults three hours. I would not recommend doing it alone as it takes two to install the main pole. The main thing if you fill with sand do NOT use play sand. We tried this and had to go back to the store to get multipurpose as the play sand was to compact.
