Hello - next week I am attempting to put her up alone as I have only just purchased her about 4 weeks ago. I am very excited but don't want to look a complete idiot. Husband is stayaing at home as he doesn't have a clue! We would only argue so thought it was best to go it alone!!! Any helpful suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Many Thanks

Have you room at home to do a "dry run" thats always helpful also read the instructions, if you don't have enough room compare poles etc with instructions/diagrams that you have that way they wont seem as daunting. Just remember he does not have a clue your incentive is to show him you can do it alone even if you have to cheat and get help from some one on site. Good Luck

I would be very surprised if you could put it up alone. We had a dry run in the garden, and about 4 hours later it was up, with 4 adults and 2 children 'helping'!!!!!!!! We have now colour coded poles and wrote on a piece of paper some notes so perhaps next time we will do it in under the hour.
