    Help hanging my rain fly

    I have a double nest eno and a twisted cloudburst rainfly. What is the best height to hang the rainfly in proximation to the hammock? If anyone has any feedback/links to other posts/diagrams they would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

    For me it depends on the weather.

    If it's a nice warm summer night with no rain in sight, I hang my tarp at least 2 foot off my hammock ridge line and use poles/sticks to hold the ends up so I can get the breeze.

    If it's going to be cold, windy, or wet I hang the tarp just above my ridge line and stake it down to the ground.

    Here's an alternative way to rig a ridgeline if you're interested in tinkering. I prefer a variant of this basic method, personally, but of course YMMV.
