This may be dumb question, but should'nt the length of a structural ridgeline always be shorter then the length of your hammock material?
I'm working on a DIY hammock and using some info on Hennessy's site for a guide. Some of the info on the hammock comparison chart is confusioning. In one area it shows the hammock width wider then the material width.
What keeps the ridgeline from sagging somewhat when you sit in the hammock? I know I can pull it tight during setup, but it seems the ridgeline would still sag somewhat when the downward force of my weight causes the hammock ends to move towards each other.
