it can be done... but it's not going to be easy on your own. 2 people is a lot easier. My 12 year old son helped me as the main issue is not necessarily pure strength but mostly helping to hold things in place on one side while screwing the bolts on the other side. Carrying it is a 2 adults job to put the dome on the structure, mostly because of the size and height, not so much the weight.
