20 minutes with 2 people. Be sure to stake down before you start. This ensures a proper fit and makes everything easy. I camp once a month in this. Not waterproof

Being that we are novice tent putter-uppers, the first time we put it up, it took us about 30 minutes. To me, the longest part about putting this tent up is staking it down. Now, it takes us only about 20 minutes.

2 people about ten minutes. One person a little longer because if it's windy the sides can fall over before you get it up.Two people makes it a breeze. Setting the poles is easy for two.Love the space it has.

It took two of us about 20 minutes to set it up the first time. We have used it a few times, and now it takes us about 10 minutes tops.

The first time time with two of us it took about a half an hour. The second time it took less than 15 minutes I would say.

Scott, I bought two of these tents and if you have two people put the frame together without the legs and then put the legs on one side only that will take a couple of hours, if you then have at least four people to help guide the tent over the frame then you can be done in another hour. That is really taking your time and doing it right. This method also allows you to put it together without ladders. You install the other set of legs after you have attached the tent in the eves with the bungie straps.

It takes 1-2 minutes to set up. It's not nearly as easy to set up as other stands, but with that being said it's not difficult.

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

yes. I have owned this tent for over 6 years now. I take it camping at least twice per year. I set it up by myself every time. it usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Hello Tamia, The Wenzel tent took about 30 minutes to set up for the first time. You will need a little assistance from an extra person. The tent is not the easiest to set up or take down because the poles have to go through the entire sleeve of the tent. Its an economical roomy tent and is only great for car camping. Hope this helped. Happy camping Steve

No, it is not a pop-up type tent. You slide the poles through the tabs on the tent. It does take a few minutes to set up, but is not difficult.

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

It is extremely easy to set up. With the aluminum poles and the clips, there is no metal collar to catch on the tent sleeves, like with traditional fiberglass pole and sleeve construction. You'll have it up in less than 15 minutes.

Yes, it is easy. Keep a hold of the visual directions and you will be fine. We love this tent.

After reading the reviews... I still purchased this canopy.. I bought a can of waterproofing spray and seam sealer. It only took about 30 minutes to do the seams and then spray... I set the tent up to do this. It was actually quite easy to set up. One person..me. I will only use this canopy when camping... but I always tie it to the camper when wind comes, and I also reinforce the joints with a simple Velcro wrap.

Not to hard. It took me and my husband about 10-15 minutes to set up the first time. Considering it's size, it's not bad at all.

It is super easy to put up and take down, kind of needs two people though but one person could do it with a little trouble. But overall I love the tent. It is spacious and has a floor and comes down pretty far in the front. Takes about 5 min to assemble and take down once you have done it one time to figure it out, very simple with just three poles ---- two long ways down the side and one long pole to go side ways at the top and that it. The poles fold of course for easy storage back in the bag --- you have to fold the tent really tight to fit back in the small bag but is doable. Hope this helps!

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.

Micah, it takes just a matter of minutes, about 3-4 minutes, to set up. It is very easy!

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

it's a 3 pole system, 2 long poles make an "x" across the tent- slip them in the sleeve, put the ends into the little peg on the ring that is on the corners, connect the clips, and it's standing. the 3rd pole is for the fly- it makes the overhang of the door. it has bungee cords and ties to keep it in place. it will take you longer to decide where to put it than it will to set up the tent. once you get the hang of it- about 5 min.
