I have taken it down and set it up by myself six or seven times since then and each time about fifteen minutes to complete the task. It’s actually easy once it does get that stretch.

There were instructions inside the plastic shipping label, but I didn’t know that until I had figured it out on my own.

My last set up was on the beach with about a fifteen mile an hour breeze. Set it up, again by myself, in under fifteen minutes. Then the wind kicked up to a steady 25 MPH and serious thunder storms the next 48 hours. I had it staked down, but did tie it to my GoEasy Boat/Kayak Trailer and put all my gear inside. Nothing ripped or tore, not a drop of water got in from the rain other than when i had to open it up to let some air get through.

To set it up:

Stake it down on all four corners first
Put the two dark grey rods through the roof sleeves, don’t connect them just yet
Connect each of the orange rods into one long piece, and arrange it so that it’s curved as it would be once installed. It should look like a big arch. Do this with all four.
Now slide the orange rods through the wall sleeves, don’t connect them just yet
The red tips should all be sitting next to the grey rods at this point
Work your way around the tent and insert the red tips into the grey rods, the fourth one will be the hardest
Now start on any corner and insert the stainless pins/clips into the ends of the orange rods and work your way around the tent, again that last one will be the most difficult one
The tent will now be standing up
If necessary, go into the center of the tent and push/pop (if it’s inverted) that up and it will tighten everything up.
Now attach the black clips to the orange rods to tighten it up even more.
Attach the additional tie-downs as necessary: they connect to those little flappy things that are about eye level.
The outer zipper is for attaching to the GoEasy trailer or the additional awnings.

Hope this helps. I’ve learned to love mine, but it took some effort.
