The first pictuer is of a small center drill an almost absolute must as far as I am concerned.
It will make a hole without walking.

Next I tried the upside down lay down flop around method and it sucks you would never get it done so I put a cup hook in the thing and hung it iat about the height it would need to be.
Simple.

Do all four sides and you can now remove the thing from the tree hanger.

I like the one with the little thumb knob.

Now what I have done is make it easy to take down but now a pain in the butt to put up.
Eight legs mean 8 arms.
I managed to do it with my feet two arms and my shoulders from inside the thing.
Four legs would be easier by far.
But I am working on an idea to solve this but the whole reason for the thread was to be easy.
Sometimes the more complicated you make things the more complicated it gets to make it right.
This is a fine example.
What I had in mind would mean 16 more hinges another octagon and eight more little legs things and make it work like an umbrella.
$%&^ that.
Also the hinges are cheap and bend too easy.
Not a marketable product,----yet.
