First set up is possible with one person. Well one strongish person, anyway. I am a woman closing in on 60 and I did it myself. Just don't give up and eventually you will get it. Pushing up with both arms while stepping on the release tab for the leg height worked best for me. Don't pull, you have to push and push hard. I'm not sure how two people would make it easier, as the hardest part was pushing the top part of the frame up to the pin on the top of the leg. It took every ounce of strength to push it in place on the first leg. Each additional leg got easier. The more times I set it up the easier it gets, as the frame loosens up a bit. I haven't had this tent long but I have had to put it through a lot bad weather. As with all tents, how you secure it makes a huge difference with how it holds us in weather. I had it secured with only the ground stakes, two in each leg when a sudden very heavy downpour dumped water on it. It shed the water like a champ. Over half the tents in the area I was in were destroyed as they collected the water and collapsed under the weight. A couple nights later a big storm was in the forecast. I used 5 -5 gallon buckets filled with water in addition to the stakes (one on each of the four corners and one inside tied to frame in the center). We had strong winds, heavy rain, and even hail. It held up fine and I would say kept everything about 95% dry. There were a couple spots where water got in but not much.The next storm I had to put it through I was on asphalt and couldn't stake it down. I used the water buckets again and tied my grid panels and anything else heavy to different points around the tent. This one made me a little nervous. 30-40 mph wind gust with heavy rain. The water didn't roll off it as well as when it was staked and it did form some large puddles on the roof in one corner. I don't know why. The wind gusts did try to pull the legs from the ground but I added more weight to each leg as I saw it wasn't secure. Two days of this weather and wind and it did keep standing and kept things dry, except under the one corner where the water had pooled. It did not stay completely in place. Some areas shifted but with the weight, it didn't go far. I have no doubt that if I had been on ground and was able to stake it, it would have been fine.So far, I surprisingly have no complaints. I did not have the additional awning pieces attached during the storms. They would not have survived. They do not attach as securely as I would like and they are not as taught as in the picture. It is not possible to put the two awning in line on the 20 foot side of the 10x20. Each awning requires a bracket on each end that attaches to the tent legs. With only one leg in the center, you need to secure one awning higher than the other, so both brackets can fit on the one leg. They need to have a side piece that has a holder on each end, so that you could use one bracket on the center pole for both awnings.The dark color (royal blue) is a little warmer inside than my old white tent but I expected that. All tents get warm anyway. I use several fans to keep the air circulating. The bigger problem with the darker color is that you will need lights even in the daytime if you keep some of the sides on. Also the color of the tent affects the color of the clothing I sell without lights. Everything is seen through a blue filter, from the roof color.So far though this tent has been holding up way better than I anticipated. I still like my shelter logic Accel-a-frame tent best, but they have discontinued it. This is easier to transport however as the frame is all one piece. The roof is easier to put on, on this tent, as you can do so before it is all the way set up. So this one does have its advantages.

We have used ours a couple of times now and it's easy to assemble and is very sturdy

I can't share how impressed I am with this tent and the awning that came with it!It's sturdy, well made and everything is super easy to use. It's at an amazing price for what it is so I got two for all my events.My only feedback is the bag that it comes with for storage and transport needs some tweaking, as the front pocket should be larger for poles etc and possibly be a zipper so things don't fall out. As well, the wheels screw on and will unscrew when used.Otherwise, tremendous product! 👏

This is my 2nd tent with abc it’s a great tent but unfortunately they alway fall short in delivery Dont be silly thinking ohh Im just unlucky I’ve ordered 3 tents from them and each time I’ve been disappointed I still utilise the tents as I have no choice when you want help they send to an American company which the sends you right back to the uk my advice buy this item with caution

 

You get what you pay for. This tent is far nicer and sturdier than the cheap ones you can buy at Walmart. It took a beat for two of us to put it up initially (there were no instructions included in our package), but YouTube videos and a little common sense helped us figure it out. Once it’s up, it’s easy enough to put up and take down with two people. One person might be able to do it alone, but it will take some time. This is not a permanent structure, so don’t expect it to stay up all summer. For week-end vendor shows and occasional recreational use, it appears to be well up to the task.

I'd have to give this canopy full stars. I've had it up continuously since since September (9 months) in Colorado. I've been using it as a garage and shop for my car while I fix it up. I do wish I had bought the 10x20 so that the whole care would have fit, but it has worked out overall. The tent has survived scorching days, 10+ inches of wet snow, and high winds. The walls failed on it today when we had 100+ MPH winds sweep through, but the top is still intact and the frame is unfazed. The walls probably failed as the buckles have worn through the material. It would be very helpful if they improved this by putting extra material here and relocating the buckles to the inside of the tent. It would also be helpful if there was a second velcro strip above the one for the walls to make it easier to mount both a wall and the awning. I make support straps out of aluminum strips to form an arch for the awning. Without it the awning is nothing but a bucket for water. It should be noted that it takes the water to pool up for it to start coming through the material. The snow did cause the roof to stretch, but overall it help up and I just pushed on the inside of the roof to knock it and any pooling water out. I've been hoping that more wall and door options would be available for purchase, but I haven't seen them sold individually. It would also be nice if there was a kit to join to 10x10 canopies together fully. That little bridge they have won't cut it, and it would be impossible to work with the snow. I'd also like to see the tied own straps mountable directly to the frame. They've held well and show no signs of wear, but I always feel like they will tear out some day. I've stopped using the awning straps for the same reason, and have replaced them with two posts to hold them up. The awning has been up the entire time and was completely unfazed by the rain and have 10 gallons of water pooled into it a couple times from the rain. It would also be nice if there were walls built to support using it as a garage better, and as a paint booth. I think it would do very well, but I will need to modify a wall in the future to provide the proper ventilation and air control to support painting with an hvlp safely. I should also know that I have a light string for a patio string inside. With the white walls the lighting is very even. The only downside is that it turns into an oven (literally 110F+) when the sun it on it. Great in the winter, terrible in the summer. It's roughly a 30-40 degree increase in temp when the sun is directly on it and all the walls are closed.
