This will be my first ever tent. Is the setup easy enough for a beginner?

Yes, it's fairly easy. Give yourself an hour the first time you set it up, putting the pole together is a little tricky, but once you've done it once, it's easy, I'd suggest practicing at home first. I set it up alone, but I'm tall, so I'd recommend at least one other person to help out.

No, it is not an instant tent. You have to put it together and my Dad said that it is very simple.

Yes, but you will need to have enough room to do so. This tent is great and so easy to set up and take down

This is NOT a pop up tent. It has 3 poles and it is possible to set up yourself... With lots of effort. 2 people is the preferred method

Yes, I think so.... make sure it is set up right with no loose places where water will pool on the top.... great tent!

yes it is very easy to set up read directions which are easy to understand and it will take less than 5 min to set up.

Definitely not. It's a pretty major event to assemble. A better choice would be an pop-up canopy (make sure you pay attention to the CANOPY dimensions--the labels can be misleading). If you're looking for something really sturdy, check out Caravan. They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

We have used the tent four times since it's purchase and have yet to use the porch. There are two poles with I think three levels that are all together so it should be pretty easy to set up. When you put the tent up, just make sure all of your upper poles click out before you do your bottom poles. The fly with the back marking is awesome!

I think it's a very nice tent. Whether or not it's good enough for renting out for a business opportunity I'm not sure. It is possible but I probably would have several on hand to use so it's not the only one you have. I would be afraid over use of it would cause it to break down faster than normal use. But all in all a very sturdy tent.

This tent is easy to set up. It is a great tent. I recommend ordering the Slumberjack footprint also. If not get a 5x9 cheap tarp to lay on the ground first. The Slumberjack is the best two person tent I have found overall. Have fun camping! Send me pics. LOL

Yes, this is a pop up tent. You would only need 1 or 2 people to set this up in a matter of minutes.

No, it's just about right for one person. To say that it's OK for 3-4 persons, as suggested by the description, is a bit of a stretch. 1 person is perfectly comfortable in this tent. 2 people are OK, 3 would be tight, 4 would require them to be really friendly with one another. It's fairly light and easy to setup. I would definitely recommend it for one person!

I would say no. Although spacious, we found this tent really cumbersome and ended up trashing it after the first use.

It is extremely easy to set up. I thought there would be more to it but no, it's pretty much done.

Close! You'll do very minimal setup, but no tools are required and it only takes about one minute.

The best I can say is how adept you are to tent pitching. The first step is to stretch it out on the ground, then push in the 4 outside corner stakes in the ground. The toughest part is sliding the upright shock chord poles through the sleeves, you have to do 4 of them. Once that is done, it pops right up...then, after adjusting for the front door tension, push all the remaining stakes into the ground. You now have the tent body up. The rain fly is stupid easy to put on. I can get the whole thing pitched from start to finish in under 20 minutes.
