An idiot at home...help?

Thanks all. I measured the span between the trees. 24 feet! Ha! Yeah that’s a challenge alone, minus the rain and what not. I’ll definitely be doing a redo when I get a chance.

According to the UHC your hang height should be @ 8.5' off the ground.

And your suspension length on your foot end should be around 104 inches.

This might a good place to start but I wouldn't adhere to it religiously.

But do hang your foot end higher @ 12"-18"

What is the span between trees?

Is the foot end 12"-18" higher?

The ridgeline should flex like this when you have your weight in it.

Ditto on these two points. In my experience I need to have the foot end at least 18"-24" higher than the head end to avoid the calf ridge.
