Yes. The video below is the one our team in Korea filmed, and it is the closest thing we have to standing next to you at the campsite. It shows the All-in-One version with Korean audio, so the words will not help, but the pictures will. Watch it for the shape of the job: unfold the walls, zip them into a ring, pitch, tension. Then read the steps below for the Basic Ver 2, because that one anchors differently and the video does not show it.

What comes out of the bag
One set of the Basic Ver 2 is two fence walls. Each wall is a single piece that folds out into three panels, so you are handling two big folded sheets, not six loose panels. With them come eight 900 mm poles in their own pouch, eighteen hexagonal alloy stakes, nine guy lines with stoppers, and an accessory pouch. The whole thing weighs about 11 lb and travels in a 35 in carry bag with a shoulder strap.
Setting it up, in the order that works
- Pick the ground first. The poles are pointed and go into the ground, so you need soil, grass or sand. Packed gravel with earth under it is fine. Concrete, pavers and wooden decking are not, and we have a separate post on that below. Skip frozen ground; driving the poles into it can damage them.
- Unfold both walls and lay them out in the shape you want. Six panels make a hexagon or a square. Lay them flat first so you can see the ring before anything is standing.
- Zip the walls together. The zippers are self-locking YKK, and there is a hook-and-loop strip along the top of each join. Close the zipper, then press the strip down. That is what keeps the ring from sliding open on its own later.
- Slide the poles in and drive them down. Each pole has a printed guide line 95 mm, about 3.7 in, from the tip. Push the pole into the ground until the line disappears. Going to the line every time is what makes the fence stand straight and stay put.
- Stake and tension. Pin the base with the stakes, then run the guy lines out and take up the slack with the stoppers. The fabric is treated to hold its tension for a day or more, even pitched through damp weather, so once it is taut you can leave it.
The reflector runs along the top edge, so once it is up you will be able to find the line with a headlamp after dark.
Which size you carry changes the count, not the method. The card below is the version most people start with; 1.5 sets adds a third wall and follows the same steps with more of everything.
Taking it down
Reverse the order. Release the stoppers and pull the stakes, then pull the poles straight up rather than levering them sideways. Open the hook-and-loop strips, unzip, and fold each wall back along its own creases into three. Poles go in the pole pouch, stakes and lines in the accessory pouch, and both walls slide into the carry bag. If the fabric is dirty, hand-wipe it with a damp cloth before it goes in. Do not machine wash it; the water-resistant coating does not survive that.
Two questions that come up right after
How long does it take? We have not timed it with a stopwatch, and we would rather not print a number we have not measured. The first time takes longer because you are learning where the guide lines are. After that, the zipping and the poles are the whole job.
Can I set it up on a deck or a patio? Not this version. The Basic needs ground to drive the poles into. The All-in-One version in the video is the one built for decking, with clamps that grip the boards instead of stakes.
