Hi Phil,
It takes me around 15 minutes to set mine up on my own.
The 50mm PVC piping and the 8 stays with strong tent pegs keeps this thing standing in quite severe winds.
It recently survived winds that I believe were in the 35 - 40 km/hr range (although it really was close to its limit)
One normally wouldn't even set it up in those conditions but rather use it as a shield against light winds and stray light.
PS - The method of construction is very important in establishing structural integrity while utilising light materials.
Note the way the vertical rods are threaded through the fabric.
