In the past I've used 8x10 non catinary cut tarps. I've always used a full length ridge line, I just received a MacCat Ultra SpinnUL and wonder what others have experienced with using a full ridge line vs. just tying out from the ends. I like being able to hang cloths and other things from this ridge line, but wonder if there is any disadvantage to this practice; i.e. wear in the fabric, stress on the tie outs, or something else I have not considered. I'm not too excited about the over the top ridge line as winter camping and wet weather on the line to be exposed to doesn't appeal.

What are your experiences or opinions?
