"Dunno if anyone snuck in here a comment on getting out initial constructional stretch (certainly) from rope (and maybe from the hammock.) The braid will set from being loaded."

Last night I did raise the tree strap on the big tree, but only by 1 ft...I was wearing flip flops and the tree is on top of a big boulder rockery. I didn't want to do anything risky in flip flops on...
Wow, thanks so much for the calculation help, 3Club!
Well, the plum tree that I don't trust, is halfway between the deck and the big tree, so that is a good candidate instead of permanently...
Well, with the little light I had left, I reset my suspension sag ridgeline to 98", then tried going from big tree to plum tree. Testing Mr. Plum Tree with just pushing down on hammock with my hands,...
"Did you try the thing that Demostix mentioned (marking the whoopie at the bury)? Are you making sure to milk the buries on your whoopie slings so they grip nice and tight? Are they home made...
Ah, quite an enlightening answer, especially about the Amsteel stretching numbers. Thanks!
So one possible solution (if I can't shorten the distance between hanging points), is to get larger...
Oooh..good call about the reverse force rope for the plum tree. It's not exactly in line but it can be done...but dang...that means ordering more rope/webbing! Not necessarily a bad thing though....
Since I can only raise one side, will that help? I can definitely put the tree strap higher on the tree end...but the deck rafter is as high as I can safely go on the other end. I don't trust the...
Here is my setup. I think in yesterday's hang, I only sagged an inch or two by then end of it. (In this pic, the ridgeline is eye level and I start out at chair height). After sagging down to 2" off...
Well, the distance between tree and deck post is ~25-30ft. At the deck post end, I've got the tree strap actually hanging from the deck rafter which is ~8-9 ft high. And at the tree end, the strap...
Hmmm...does that mean upgrading from a 6' tree strap to a 12' tree strap (or a 10 ft whoopie instead of a 6 ft whoopie) isn't going to help my situation?
I am on hang #2 and I love it! However my question is: why am I sagging? I'm guessing it's because of a break-in period, but I'd like your opinion.

Eno DN with continuous loops and SMC...
