While the exact setup time will vary from tent to tent, most of the higher quality large tents can be set up by 2 or 3 people in about 10 minutes. Obviously, those who choose to set up large tents by themselves can expect the process to take longer than that but, because most of the best tents today come with shock-corded poles that make the whole process easier it really shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to half an hour. In addition, as with everything else the more you do it the easier it will be for you and you’ll likely get to the point where setting up your tent will become second nature.\r
