Lanshan 1 Pro and Lanshan 2 Pro  (Only Pro version, the standard Lanshan 1 and Lanshan 2 no need for seam sealing) require an after-production sealant to be applied to essential sewn seams that would be vulnerable to waterproof. This not only creates a waterproof sealing between the pieces of fabric and fills the needle holes, but also adds strength in some extent. This process is required to enhance the shelters waterproof level.

We recommend you do it yourself, please check my post “How to seam seal your silnylon tent”, this will be an interesting experience. If you are not interested in DIY, we are willing to do it for you,  this service is processed by our most experienced outdoor instructors it can be added at check out. See more details following.

Seam Sealing Service

Seam sealing services may increase processing time. Orders requiring seam sealing services may be delayed by 1-3 weeks, depending on the weather (as this work can only be done outdoors).

The sealant is mainly applied to the exterior of the shelter and although it is translucent after drying, there will definitely be slight visible marks after application of the adhesive.

Seam sealing service is not applicable to tents with PU coating or fully taped, it is not necessary.

Figure 1, the seam sealing standard. Since the sealing is done manually, there will be uneven application and some places may spill due to too much sealant, sorry.

Notice:

The treated tent can greatly enhance the waterproof performance, but it is hard to guarantee that it can achieve the waterproof effect of fully taped tent such as Lanshan 2.

In order to save the weight of the tent, we will not treat the black dots and lines in the figure, because it is an area with no waterproof significance.

Figure 2, We will seal according to the color markings, the blue part will be sealed on both sides, the red and orange will be sealed on the outside only, and the black part will be left untouched.

 “If you’re on a tight budget or you want to try using a single wall tent without going bankrupt, the Lanshan 1 Pro is a great option. It’s well ventilated and easy to set up with a spacious interior and plenty of gear storage space.”

“T“ zipper door

The Lanshan 1 Pro ultralight tent features doors that can be fully opened, thanks to three high-quality YKK zippers. For a solo tent, this feature is highly popular—it allows you to enter the tent with ease, regardless of the terrain, and choose any door-opening orientation that suits your needs.

 

Full Silicone Fabric

Unlike most tents where one side of SilNylon/SilPoly is coated with a PU layer, the SilNylon/SilPoly(to be released later) used in the Lanshan Pro series is silicone-treated on both sides. As a result, it cannot be laminated with other coatings, nor can factory-applied waterproof tape be used on the seams. This approach maximizes the fabric’s tear resistance, ensuring the tent can withstand even severe storms.

This type of fabric is challenging to work with, which is why large factories typically avoid orders involving it, and only niche brands use it. At 3FULGEAR, our sewing team has years of experience handling this slippery fabric, allowing us to expertly manage the difficulties it presents during the sewing process.

Due to the slippery nature of this fabric and its tendency to attract dust, we will not use this material for tent floors.

Quality

We can proudly say that the craftsmanship of 3FULGEAR’s sewing workshop ranks among the best in Asia. This is thanks to our low employee turnover, as we provide competitive salaries and benefits. Every one of our workers is an “expert” in sewing Lanshan tents. Our most experienced worker has been with us since 2008, the year we founded 3FULGEAR.

The aging performance data for Silicon-PU Nylon is based on years of repairing tents in the Chinese market, including PU Nylon tents from brands like MSR, Big Agnes, and 3FULGEAR. 

Since we haven’t had to repair aging SilNylon tents, the aging performance of SilNylon is based on feedback from our customers and users on backpackinglight.com.

The tear resistance data comes from our experiments on one-way tearing of single-ply fabrics with incisions.

SilNylon won’t tear apart like paper when subjected to forces exceeding its tear strength. Instead, its slippery fibers will align and create a strong anti-tear force. Even if the tent is damaged at this point, it won’t collapse and can continue to provide protection for the user.

The waterproofing data is derived from our tests using the WX Air PowerPressure device, conducted at 25 degrees Celsius. The video of this experiment is available on our YouTube channel.

The waterproof level required to effectively prevent raindrops from penetrating is 1000-2000mm, which is why we strive to achieve this value with SilNylon. The water resistance pressure of PU Nylon far exceeds actual usage requirements because our research found that only by increasing the thickness of the PU layer to this level can a PU tent achieve a lifespan of 5 years.

Step 1: Secure the four corner pegs (A, B, C, D) to form a perfect rectangle. (Do not install pegs E and F at this stage.) Align the corner’s guyline with the tent’s ridgeline (seam) in a straight line to enhance stability

Step 2: Install peg F 1.2m (47 inches) from the inner tent. Use a 1.2m-1.25m trekking pole to raise the tent structure Attach the vestibule guyline G to peg F

Step 3: Setting Up Peg E & Guylines

Pull point E outward and secure it with a peg.
Attach guylines to anchor points G1, G2, G3, then secure them with pegs.
