It's actually pretty easy to do it with two if you initially start with a "V" pole setup. Put the tips of the two poles into the outside grommets but bring the handles together so that they function as one at ground level. Continue the setup as you would for a single pole. Then swing the poles outward so the same assumes more of a "/ \" configuration and you're good to go.
