First time out I couldn't get mine folded, nor could the two helpful people who tried as well. We got it folded very approximately and tied it up with the tow rope. A morning with the video at home finally worked it out, but it was not easy. A six foot guy with huge hands going flip flip does not relate very well to the reality of a struggle often in a gale and driving rain.

.. just had to say I actually laughed out loud to your reply .. LOVE IT!!

and talking of gales and driving rain .. at Looe 2011 .. I had no trouble in attracting helpers .. and I don't think I looked too pathetic as I attempted to put my brand new awning up single-handed ..
I actually come to the conclusion that if you're a single female, no matter how gung-ho and strong you are, it's well-nnigh impossible to put up any construction with fibreglass poles that aren't Quechua, and VERY difficult to pack one of those away for the first time..

Relax people, members of Bongo Fury really are your extended family (love you all xx)
