This will depend on the size of the yurt. Generally for a 5-wall yurt it takes around half a day or in some cases a full day. If it is the first set-up, 3 to 4 people will be required. With a little bit of training one person can set-up in a couple hours. The first time can be a little tricky even with our detailed installation instructions. If you purchase a groovy yurt, we recommend our set-up assistance service. We are professionals in the proper set-up of a yurt, and we want your yurt experience to have a wonderful start. Alternately, we have knowledgeable partners around the world, so let us know if you need help. We will do our best to find someone close to you.
