Setting up a pop up canopy by yourself is very doable. If you install a tent with two people you can finish in a matter of less than 3 minutes. But, can you do it by yourself? Yes! As a matter of fact, here is a short video where one of our co-workers did it all by herself! It took her no more than 10 minutes. It is very simple and straightforward for pop up canopies.
Frame Tents (Pole Tents)
There are many tent varieties and sizes which definitely require a crew to install a tent. This mostly applies to large frame tents (pole tents) since they require assembly and can weigh more than one person can handle. The video below will give you a sense of how complex it can become, even with a relatively simple tent. Assembly for a structure tent is definitely a two man or more job. So, for pole tents, it is not recommended to set up a tent by yourself as its nearly impossible task and you could get seriously injured. Here are a few things we recommend for these larger tents.
Use a team of people for any frame tent installation.
Even smaller tent sizes can be a bit difficult to handle so always practice caution.
Hire a crew of tent installation professionals if you have no prior experience with a tent installation.
