How long does this tent take to set-up?

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.

Hello Tamia, The Wenzel tent took about 30 minutes to set up for the first time. You will need a little assistance from an extra person. The tent is not the easiest to set up or take down because the poles have to go through the entire sleeve of the tent. Its an economical roomy tent and is only great for car camping. Hope this helped. Happy camping Steve

Out of the box to assembly took about 10 minutes. After the first-time-set-up fumbling around, it will take you about 5 minutes or less to assemble.

Micah, it takes just a matter of minutes, about 3-4 minutes, to set up. It is very easy!

Being that we are novice tent putter-uppers, the first time we put it up, it took us about 30 minutes. To me, the longest part about putting this tent up is staking it down. Now, it takes us only about 20 minutes.

It takes an hour, an hour and a half. I'd suggest downloading some custom dividers from Board Game Geek. They'll massively cut down on set up and pack up time.

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

The first time it took nearly 30 minutes...I'm tent pitching challenged. However, each time it goes faster. We had it up in 15 minutes last time, two of us, and then a few more minutes to throw on the rain fly and drive its stakes. I love this tent.

Absolutely - I am a 52 year old Mom and I can get this up in about 7-8 minutes going slowly. It takes longer to stake the guidelines out than to get the tent up LOL. I have a 7 year old who then helps me get a huge tarp over the top (we camp in Florida, like the shade and extra rain protection of a tarp)...we LOVE this tent.

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

After reading the reviews... I still purchased this canopy.. I bought a can of waterproofing spray and seam sealer. It only took about 30 minutes to do the seams and then spray... I set the tent up to do this. It was actually quite easy to set up. One person..me. I will only use this canopy when camping... but I always tie it to the camper when wind comes, and I also reinforce the joints with a simple Velcro wrap.

Absolutely you will be able to set it up. It is very easy very light. Take steps in the right order and it almost sets itself up. Do not stake down the tent until it is totally set up then it is very easy

Not to hard. It took me and my husband about 10-15 minutes to set up the first time. Considering it's size, it's not bad at all.

Yes, maybe takes 5-10 minutes to set up. It's a bit heavy when trying to carry all of the pieces at once, but broken down it doesn't take up much space.

There were set up instructions included. About to go camping with mine next week. Can't wait. It's a great tent.

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.

You can put the tent up very quickly. The frame is an accordion style which means you just simply open and close it. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

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
