Lanshan 2 Pro

Has anyone else here tried out the Lanshan 2 Pro? I just picked one up after seeing so many good reviews and I can’t believe how light it is for the size! Set it up in my backyard today and it definitely beats my old tent for headroom and space.

For those who have actually taken it out on the trail, how does it hold up in wind and rain? Did you do anything for extra weatherproofing or mods (like swapping out stakes or guy lines)? Also, any tips for getting a really taut pitch with trekking poles?

Excited to test it out for a multi-day trip soon, but would love to hear everyone’s real-life experiences and hacks.

You’re gonna love taking it on a trip! One quick tip: if you want an even tauter pitch, try using slightly longer stakes than what comes with it-you can pull the corners out wider that way and shed wind better. Also, swapping the included guy lines for thicker ones with reflective thread helps at night and in bad weather. I added extra guy-out points on the side panels with small loops of cord, which really helped in windy conditions. Have fun on your first outing-can’t wait to hear how it goes!

Watching this thread too-those side panel guyouts make a noticeable difference in wind, but I’d also keep a close eye on seam sealing if you haven’t already. Out of the box, Lanshan’s “factory sealed” claim can be hit or miss. Quick home seam-seal job is cheap insurance before a wet night!

I just took it for a spin last weekend on a windy ridgeline, and adding trekking pole handles facing the ground helped stabilize the pitch and added height inside. For extra weatherproofing, I carry a small piece of Tyvek to use as a groundsheet. It adds a layer of protection and keeps the tent clean. Can’t wait to hear how your trip goes!
