You have telescoping poles and they are easy to extend and to lock into place thanks to what they call pinch-free Comfort Grip technology. Note that the poles are with large feet so that the structure can stand on while you set it up. There are three main elements here, the coleman ice chest frame, the roof, and the screen around. So the fabric elements are separately removable and you can use this structure as a gazebo with the frame and roof only. With the net in place, you have two access points with vertical zippers, the doors are on the opposite sides.
