One Person Set Up? Can one person set up this tent if they take their time?

I'm 50 years old, 5'2", and not terribly agile. I have no problem setting up and taking down this tent mostly by myself (my 8 year old "helps" -- but you can imagine how "helpful" an 8 year old can be! I have no problem getting it back into the bag myself either. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes each.

Cannot answer. I bought my tents for my children. It is part of their emergency kits and they have not had the opportunity to use it as of yet. When they do, they will let me know. I bought a tent form coleman similar to this and you definately need 2 people. Someone has to be on the opposite side when you pop the poles up. Can't possibly see how one person can do this!

Yes, and I'm using it right now in the mountains. Set it up by myself! For the second time. Insert the pins already attached to the tent, into the poles. Put in one pole bend then second pole bend, p/u, and then place the third.

The tent has plenty of space, however I returned it. The setup on this tent is very difficult for even two people.

I've set it up by myself, but I'm over 6' and can reach everything for this tent... I will say it goes MUCH faster with 2 or more.... Very easy, follow instructions...

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

Since the tent is not free standing, it is a little difficult to get up by yourself. I would put the stakes in first then the pole.

The tent is super easy to put up. Yes, it can be put up solo. Also, very roomy inside! Great tent!

I would say with some practice yes one person could set it up, if you are staking it yes.

First time set up took one person 20 minutes. Would have been easier with two people. When we put it up and down now, it takes 2 people less than 5 minutes (but we don't disassemble the roof).

YesI am able to set it up and break it down by myself. Though it takes some time to do it because it is quite heavy. It's possible to do it alone yet easier to have someone help you. I enjoy how sturdy this tent is as I use it quite often at craft fairs.

1 person setup? Sure. Could probably do it 1 handed even, its dead simple ...1 person and a big dog? Might be overkill. Yet, if you're rained out for a day, you'd probably appreciate the extra real estate. . Btw the quality is worth more than the price.

Depends on size of the person, but 2 people, very tightly packed. Since this is an emergency tent, in an emergency situation you would be able to make it work.

My husband says it is doable, but challenging. We can see it being a problem if you are short, especially putting on the rain cover. It is a great tent, though; we love it!

The first time we set up the tent it took 3 hours with three people. The directions are a bit confusing so it took a while to go through all the parts and figure out what pieces the directions were referring to. But everytime after that it took about an hour or less or to set up with three people.

Short of unpacking and setting it up......you can fit one adult in there with gear or a husband and wife (people who don't mind being close. Great for one person with gear; two if necessary.
