Is this sturdy for pavement? And could one person set it up and how long does it take to set up?

Yes, used it on number of occasions now. Very pleased. One recommendation, need some weights to hold it down during very windy days

I have never used this on pavement so I can't give an accurate answer for that. My husband is able to put it up by himself but I struggle and need help. I would say it takes approx 10-15 minutes to set up.

I use mine for street fairs, so I always set it up on concrete and for the most part have no problems. However, one time the wind kicked up and it was a nightmare, so in the wind this thing wants to fly. After that time i bring empty milk gallon jugs fill them with water and use them as anchors just in case the wind kicks up. You can put it up alone but it is really hard to do and I would not doing it as you can break the metal supports. The second person is only needed for a couple of minutes, i just as a stranger and they always are willing to help.

It should be fine on pavement, BUT it would definitely behoove you - especially if you're settling-up in, "windy conditions" - to put some weights on the bottoms of the legs of the canopy. As far as assembly goes, "in theory", you should be able to assemble/erect this canopy single handedly, but I'd recommend utilizing at least a two person team to do it - THREE would be even better. Assembling by one's self can take anywhere from approximately 10 to 20 minutes; 2-3 people, 5-10 minutes.

Yes it is sturdy for pavement. You will need something to anchor it down. We used buckets with sand and that worked well. One person can set it up, but it is very easy with 2 people.

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! :)

The structure is not really that heavy just awkward. One person can move it but not all of it at the same time if it is in the grass. On a flat surface you can slide it. Two people no problem.

I wouldn't leave it set up outside all the time. It's not super thick super hard vinyl, but it's sturdy enough that I recommend it. We have ours up inside all the time in the play room and have to add air to it every now and then. But if you wanted to occasionally use it outside on the grass? it would probably be okay.

One person can set this up/down but it just takes more time. I've done it by myself. You just have to be patient and pull out each corner a bit at a time. It's a bit heavy to drag around but the carrying case has wheels to help with that.

It's over a 100lbs! I could load it on a trailer by myself. I would use the tires and load the side with the tires and then pick up with the handle side, two people can load it no problem. It's a little two bulky for one person to handle. I have picked it up by myself, but it's hard for one person.

Its not hard to assemble, you need two adults though. I have it sitting in about 4 inches of pea gravel and it does okay, i would recommend definitely staking it or setting it in cement.

I dont set it up on concrete but for grass and dirt setups, I have some 'u' anchors that I pound into the ground over the upright stands to keep it from being blown over. That has been easy cheap and effective for me. Good luck

We've only used it 1 time. I think it took us 2 to 3 hour's to set up. We also had about 6 people helping. Probably wouldn't take as long the next time.

I haven't put mine up on asphalt, but I can't see it being any harder than on grass, which it to say super easy as long as you have 4 people. Two people can do it, but it is challenging, and the one time I did it solo I worried about bending it funny (It works best when you have a person holding each of the legs.) You will definitely want to put weights on the corners (stakes being hard on asphalt) because it doesn't take much wind to tumble the whole canopy. If it was me, I would probably use cinder blocks tied to each leg with cord. Having at least 1 tall person helps with putting the walls up because they attach pretty high. I hope this helps!

It sure can. Very easily sets up in less than a min. As well as taken down in a min, the the exception of the stakes...

It would set up on a hard surface it has no spikes to anchor it to the ground just feet. It needs weighting down in any sort of wind - a sandbag or dumbell or something.

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

It can stand on it's own but can blow away or topple over easily if there is someone changing inside. Might be okay for pavement just have to be careful.

Hey there! I had the opportunity to work off site and had to set this baby up. It's fairly easy to set up...tho, i wouldn't do it often...as this thing is heavy.

Yes...One person can put it up...You will have no problem at all ....It's great..We use ours for camping and so people stop by and ask about. They never seen one like it and ask where we got it.

I use it as a stationary set up. Very sturdy. Only set it up the first time so not sure how easy it would be to break down and set up. Weight is moderate not light
