I'm a 5'2' /60 yr-old woman. Can I really put this up by myself?

I'm 35 and its heavy for me to wheel it far. I can put up myself but its better to have someone help. But I love it cause its very durable.

I don't think so. This canopy is pretty heavy for a small person and it takes 2 people to put it up.

I'm 5'5" /70 year old woman, and I can just barely put mine up. I always find a guy to help me shove the middle up first so that I can raise the corners. I threw my back out after two Saturdays in a row at farmers' market, setting up and taking down my tent, putting it back in the case and loading it and the corner weights back in my SuV; and I had to go through 2 months of physical therapy to get my lower back restored to normal, and alleviate the pain in my hip and leg. So, I quit farmers' market after the first two Saturdays, and I'll find help before I set my tent up again.

Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up. I'm 51 and the only issue I have had is when first opening the tent at an event I have a hard time locking the first pin into place. I think it is because it is a new canopy and just tight. I have had this tent now for about 10 shows and it is now becoming easier. If you are using at a show, there is always someone around that can help you lock in the first leg, after that it is very easy. Tear down is just as easy. It's a very nice canopy with a denser fabric. I just waterproofed my canopy last week and was thankful this past weekend during a rain storm as I didn't have any leaks around the seams. I would definitely recommend. Lorie, J Rowe Apparel Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up.

I'm a 62 year old woman and I did not put it up by myself. Fortunately, my husband came with me and helped. This tent was easier to put up than my previous one but even though I read reviews of people who said they put it up themselves, I really don't think I could have done it by myself.

It takes 2 people to put it up without a major hassle. You could go it alone if necessary (and no weights involved) but you have to shift from corner to corner to pull it out evenly and it takes awhile. Two people & it's a simple maneuver that takes a lot less time. I'm 5'9 and fit and I find it difficult.

I am not sure of your capability but by girlfriend who is 5'3 can do it herself. It just takes time to keep walking around it to extend it. Once you get it extended then you walk around it again and start raising it. Once you have it standing up then you can add the screening and make sure you use all the tie downs to keep it secure in the wind. Once it is standing up you can't move it solo though, so set it up where you want it...Hope this helps!

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

It is a bit of a challenge to put up alone, but so far no issues at all. I would buy it again

I am a petite woman but pretty strong. I put the bookshelf together myself. It wasn't easy but also wasn't incredibly hard. I did not apply the back board so that helped.

It's easy to figure out how far you can go and you can pace yourself accordingly. I have mine right next to a wall, every now and then I need to just lightly touch it to stabilize myself. I'm in my mid fifties and not in the best shape and do fine on it.

If you have average or better flexibility, you can put it on by yourself. (Good thing, too, because I found it impossible to adjust without taking it off and putting it back on several times.)

Easy...I'm in my 60s and put mine on a 17"-thick, queen mattress all alone:)

I have never done it alone, but I do believe I could if I had to. The tent is not difficult to put up.

Very easy. I'm a 27 and a weak girl and I set it up all by myself. Just have to make sure u have something u can use to prop up one side until u get the base on.

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.

It depends on how tall you are. I am 5'3" and put the four shelf unit together by myself. I wasn't able to handle the 5 self alone. You need to lift the top shelf too high and then slide it down.

you might be able to. A footstool would probably help to hook the top of the poles together or you might be able to do that before you stood the corners up. For the record I am 5 foot 3 inches and I put it up with no trouble at all

Yes, I assembled it by myself and it was easy. Just keep your directions and it should be a breeze.

I purchased it for a young lady who lives with me; she is not able to get her chair on it herself, I have to pop her chair up on it. Unfortunately it would be difficult to get yourself up on it without help.

Yes, you do it alone. There are bars to help pull back up, and it is easy to do. I know older ladies who use them and they are able to pull back up

I'm a 61 year old, average sized woman and I put it on a pillow top queen by myself. That said, I think putting it on any heavy, memory foam type king-size would be easy enough for two people.
