    Question Cat cut at ridgeline for a tarp

    A tarp in 2 pieces, sewn at the ridge. 11 foot long. Should there be a cat curve at the ridge? How "deep"? Thanks!

    You need to visit with Smokehouse...he does this. Most people don't, however.

    A cat cut in the ridgeline works best for a tarp that's always hung with the same pitch. This could be kind of limiting when used with a hammock.
