They have been generous enough to open the rec room for me so I...

I'm having a hard time deciding what tent to buy and realised one of my preferred options may be too difficult to erect by myself. I've been looking at the OZtrail 10x8 Canvas Cabin (47kg) The instructions say to have a friend help raise each side of the tent. I was wondering if anyone has assembled one so...
