With the aluminum poles, how difficult is it for one person to put up the tent?

It would be difficult! It really is a two person task! Probably not impossible for one person to do but I wouldn't recommend it!!

It's easy. I returned it though. The zippers are junk and broke on first use.

Easy. They're so screwed up at Browning you probably won't even get your tent!!!! So no poles to worry about!!!!!!!!

It is extremely easy to set up. With the aluminum poles and the clips, there is no metal collar to catch on the tent sleeves, like with traditional fiberglass pole and sleeve construction. You'll have it up in less than 15 minutes.

It could be done, but it is a lot easier with two people. I don't have any trouble with the zippers. Never noticed anything unusual. We think this is a fantastic tent and are very pleased with it.

One can but it's more difficult. To get this tent up with one person, you prop up one pole with a tree branch or equivalent, then get the second one up, and proceed. You'll understand as you go along but again, the trick is to prop up one pole with a stick as get the second pole up.

I've set it up by myself before, but I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on one pole when standing it up. If there is wind, it's definitely a two person job. I'd suggest "practicing" in the backyard before the first trip with the tent.

1 person can do it if they're tall enough otherwise 2 will be needed but set up is easy just don't step onto the tent itself while its laying on the ground. It has an attatchment for the light and fan already installed and if you go walking on it you will break the tabs that hold them. To take it down 1 person can do it fairly easily.

Can be assembled by one person. Not hard, not easy. It will just take a couple of hours -- at least it did for me. Good directions, though.

Bought as a gift so cant answer, have put up similar free standing tents, they are not heavy, just a little awkward with putting poles together with the tent. can be done.

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.

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.

It is super easy to put up and take down, kind of needs two people though but one person could do it with a little trouble. But overall I love the tent. It is spacious and has a floor and comes down pretty far in the front. Takes about 5 min to assemble and take down once you have done it one time to figure it out, very simple with just three poles ---- two long ways down the side and one long pole to go side ways at the top and that it. The poles fold of course for easy storage back in the bag --- you have to fold the tent really tight to fit back in the small bag but is doable. Hope this helps!

The tent holds up the poles and vice versa. The framework is a bit wobbly without the tent but you could probably use the guide wires to make it work. I have not tried it though.

It shouldn't be too difficult, it is a pretty good size. I would say its better to have two people putting it on rather than one person

Yes ...It is a requirement of mine all camping equipment I buy must be capable of setting up by myself. Offset the poles fully assembled ..insert in center piece then one at a time either clock wise or counter clockwise start to raise support poles in increments... like halfway up work around raising each one until fully erected.As you erect then in stages hook the snaps on the poles don't try to hook them all until it is fully upright as you go around do some as you go on each pole. The corner hooks should not be done until almost fully upright.

I'm not sure but its best if you put in place the two inner poles with nuts first.. leaving them laying down on the ground once put in place.. then start putting in place outer poles.. once you get one side up.. then its easier to stand up the inner poles.. you will need a few people to support the inner poles while someone puts in place the other sides.. I love this tent.. I replaced the rope with tow straps using eye hooks at the top and bottom of the poles for the tow straps to hook through it makes it much more secure and when the wind loosens the tent you just simply rank the strap..

It's actually very easy. There are only three poles total, all of which are elasti-corded. You run the two longest through the guides on the tent in an X shape, and simply pop the ends onto the stake rings. The last pole is just to keep the rain fly in place, and you can use the attached elastic hooks to connect to the stake rings as well. It's even super easy to do with just one person. Setup, including staking it down, takes 20-30 minutes.

This tent is very easy to set up by one person. Fits two people (or one person and a large dog) comfortably. More than that and you'll be rubbing shoulders.

You need to bend the poles. It is easiest if you have two people doing one at a time.

It's a bunch of poles that snap together and 5 pieces of tarp. I put it up by myself, it took about an hour and half. You may need duct tape because the poles in the middle that connect collapse when trying to assemble it.
