I think you may want to reverse your thinking lab72. You set your ridgeline to get the amount of sag not the other way around. Typically, folks use a formula like this: take the total length of your hammock (before you hang it) and set a ridgeline of 83% of the length. Make minor adjustments to get the perfect amount of sag for you. This is a relative formula which changes person to person. Find that sweet spot for yourself and voila, you have a ridgeline. Hope that helps.
Cool i will give that a go is para cord ok to use ?
All done i now have permerment ridge line cheers dude
Paracord is okay but may want to consider something called Zing-it or Lash-it. Lighter and won't stretch like para does. Now, we have to see pics or this entire thread... never happened. :D
Here you go

How do you support you net now on the ridgeline.
When I tried a ridge line on a DD Frontline there was far too much sag in the net. I also found that the design of the hammock didn't suit a ridge line, ie. the hammock seems a bit shortonce a ridge line was used.

I have found out that in my case (255 lbs. / 6 ft.) the way to go with DD Traveler, is taut, if not extra taut.
Of course one could join Weight Watchers :scared:
Move the ridge line as its set to a set length:)Quote:

Have you made a small hole in the gathered end?
I love your hang spot! I'm jealous, and my hang spot is two coconut palms on a tropical island.
Hi Lab72,
Looks like a great setup, But what happens to your ridge line when you need your bug net in place??
