Joanne - think it took us about 10/15 mins when we'd got used to it, zips on first - take all the zip off sides & front off so that its lighter and then zip them on after. Our zip was a b****r for the first time but eased with use. Time doesn't include farting about with the curtains,lining etc either but worth it when its all up

There is no easy way if you are 5ft nothing! We take all the panels out lay done the frame zip it on doing the tallest bit from inside and push up the legs. About 25 minutes to get it all up and pegged. Ours hasn't got a roof lining like Mary's had. I always do the curtains while John is pegging.

hi Jo!! we have the same outfit as you!! my OH is a lanky 6 foot so she has got her uses!! 3 inches taller than me! i cant stress how much a good step would be putting the awning up! we used a cheap plastic one about 8 or 9 inches (no jokes please!) and we were on a very boggy site and couldnt figure out why we couldnt reach the top after a couple of seconds.... the piggin' step was sinking!! so even at 6 foot with a 9 inch step the top could only just be reached!! i can send you some pics of it set up if that will help in anyway???
