Thanks Deb.  My husband could do this but I couldn't.  We're going to put it up over the picnic table and call it good.  I ordered an E-Z Up.

> We sprayed the corners with silicone so that it slides alright now but that doesn't lessen the strength it takes to extend the legs the last 2" to get it locked. Does anyone else have model and have suggestions on making this easier? I'd like to drag it across the road and heave it into the river every week.

Hi Robin -

I put all of the legs up a couple notches, then grab one and put my shoulder under the frame and shove with my shoulder that last 2" until I hear it click into place (using my hold on the leg for leverage). That works about as well as anything else I've tried alone as I just don't have upper body strength to try to pull it up into place. Looks funny I'm sure, especially if I have to bound the frame a couple times, but it always works. Then I finish lengenthing the legs.
