    question about triangle thingies

    I've been reading a bit about them and have seen them on 1 or 2 hammocks, but I'm trying to find a bit more information about them. I understand that they are supposed to change the way the UQ hangs under the hammock, but do they help with sag? What do they really do? I've done a search, but I'm not really coming up with a good explaination (or a video would be great if someone has some time)
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong

    By my way of thinking and limited use...by changing the UQ suspension angle, they can help to seal the UQ ends. I would think they could make sag in the middle of the UQ worse because there is not as much pull lengthwise on the UQ.

    This is what I think as well. The ones on my UQ are smallish and do not change the angle that much. I think secondary lines like the ones Adam has on his quilts would do a better job than triangle thingies alone.
    Don't let life get in the way of living.
