    Hang Calculator

    Is the Hammock Hang Calculator exclusive to a 10' hammock. My hammock is 11' so do I need to adjust for the extra foot in length?? I've got my tape measure out and the numbers aren't jiving.

    You can change the ridge line length. The 108" default is pretty close to the average 11' ridge line. Rule of thumb is 80% of hammock length.

    Edit: My memory might be off for the rule of thumb. The calculator takes 87% of the hammock length if you choose that parameter.

    If you don't like using ridgeline length, you can also select hammock length and it will calculate ridgeline length therefrom.
