How long does it take to inflate and deflate this cabana?

It'll take days to inflate it by mouth. If you use a dinky car charger air pump, it takes about 30 minutes. If you use an inexpensive electric air pump it takes about 5 minutes. Deflating is pretty quick, but good luck fitting it back into the carrying bag it comes with. It's very difficult to be able to get every little bit of air out and roll it up as flat as it was when we got it.

With an air compressor the strength of something you'd see at a gas station, it takes less than 5 minutes.

Less than 10 minutes with electric inflator. You can get them at Walmart for around $10

with human lungs - no more than a week or 2. With one of these, 5-10 minutes: Sea-Doo AC 120V Electric Pump

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

Got to be honest my inflatable SUP deflates as soon as you unscrew the ports but I would think the deflation should be faster than the inflation so for me that's less than 3 or 4 minutes.

It took about 15 minutes to deflate, you have to roll and press the air out. Regarding storage, it is impossible to get it packed as tight as when it first arrives. We got it back in the box but the end could not be closed. There was no storage bag. From memory, the box is about 36 by 24 by 12 inches.

You defiantly need a pump. We used our electric tire pump. Took about a half an hour to inflate.

It took maybe 10 min to deflate. I just unplugged the stoppers and pressed/sat on it. Daughter helped. It folds up pretty nice, about the size of a medium suitcase. Maybe 3x2ft. I takes time to fill up, so if it's going to be a toy you use everyday, leave it out.

you can run it for about ten minutes before needing to cool it down but your inflatable should be well and trult full by then. Its a great pump

It depends on what kind of car you have, tire's condition (completely flat, semi-flat, etc.) and PSI requirement (25-30-35). I my case (Honda Civic, completely flat tire, 30 PSI) it takes 10-12 minutes to inflate a tire.

I used an electric pump and it still took several minutes. There are two places to inflate

I would guess mine took about 1 minute to inflate. My son did it every night and it was really quick!

Hi Tracy, It's very light, probably about a lb. or two. And if you take it deflated it would pack better. You could probably inflate it manually, it was just much easier with a pump. But not really necessary. Have fun on your trip!

5 minutes tops. I haven't had to remove it for any storms. It vents well and when anchored correctly, it doesn't move much.

Should not take too long, you need to pinch the valve at base to open the safety flap. You can get a simple hand pump too. Do not inflate fully it will adjust to your contours, I usually inflate a bit more than half way. Same with air beds.

I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump. It takes me 3 minutes to inflate the kayak with the pump and a couple of more minutes to inflate the seat and foot cushion/ballast, usually by mouth, although you can use the pump. The only assembly is strapping the seat in place. The only disassembly is unstrapping the seat. It takes me 7-10 minutes to deflate it and a few minutes to fold it up, I'd say 12-15 minutes to get it deflated, folded, and put back in the carry case. The paddle takes a minute to snap together and less than that to take apart. I'm a 71 year old female. I don't need help; I inflate it myself with the included pump.

Not difficult to deflate , if you have a pump / deflator. Depends on how much of the air you pull out or remove , as to deflated size

It's actually pretty easy to inflate, you do not need a pump to inflate it. We used it for a week straight and deflated it every day and then inflated again the next day. It only took a few minutes to inflate manually.

It deflates with the motor so about as fast as it takes to inflate. No more than 2 minutes. After I had it for a months it started deflating nearly all the way half way through the night.
