NOTICE

We solved the problem of water seepage from the wind rope suspension ring in version 2024 of Lanshan 2.

If you purchased it before March 2024, we recommend treating it before use.

Please seal the area shown in the red circle, you can use any wax, petroleum jelly, etc. to seal. There is a risk of water seepage in this area because we cannot apply waterproof tape, even if we use waterproof thread, we recommend that you treat it before use.

※Lanshan 2 does not include poles.

※Two Guy-line have been tied to the tent.
