Avid camper here, so very familiar with tension rods, the long rods are too thin , the shelter material is also too thin and therefore this product will not last long, so if you plan to use longer than 1 year, I would purchase a higher quality one. On the initial set-up, I let it set in the sun for a short time, this allows the sun to soften the materials then I brought inside to the cooler air, this helps “set” the shape for future use. 

Easy set-up, it states at one part that you need another person, but I (64 year old) was able to do it by myself. 

This unit will be used for overnight storage for folding chairs, trash bin and other items next to my RV while camping, it will be set up and tore down each trip and I can assure you it will not last a year.
