reads 1 hour 1 person assembly ... maybe if you have assembled 100 of these. Took me about 3 hrs myself with some intermittent help during raising frame & covering. This comes with 4 augers with cable ties to help anchor down .. instructions I found were excellent if you read it correctly - make sure you read the part about the straps and how you should not pull on them before final assembly. Have you had drawstrings on your joggers or shorts that got sucked into the lining ? good luck  ... so far it appears to be a great product. We will see when the weather gets more nasty.
