**jbestjr** · 08-15-2012, 13:49

I am sure this has been acked and answered many times, however I can't seam to find the answer.

What is the recommended length for a Structure Ridgeline for a ENO DN. I am 6' 245lbs.

I plan to make one out of amsteel but I not sure what to make the fixed length.

BTW I am a Hammock ROOKIE!!!!!

Make it adjustable! It took many many nights to get mine perfect. I made a really big whoopie string and use that as a ridgeline.

I'm 6' 175 and use a 109" RL.

Lay in it without one and have someone measure from each end and start there. I did this with a freinds eno and I only needed to lengthen it 2 inches after using that dimension. I tired a loop in each end and ran the suspension through the whiiping then throught the loop, worked great.

I recommend the ASR from Arrowhead Equipment. Very light yet durable. Use it on my Eno.

+1 to above. The adjustability really allows you to dial in the perfect sag. You can also add one of Dutch's ridgeline biners so you can quickly detach the RL to use the hammock as a chair.

Try starting with the ratio of ridge line length to hammock body length about 90%. Make it adjustable so you can tweak it in to what you find most comfortable. I haven't measured mine in years but I think I ended up at 89% after trying different lengths.

I am at 91". This has been the most comfortable for me. 5'10" 230lbs

RL length is usually determined by the length of the hammock. 109" is usually for an 11' long hammock. I believe that ENOs are 10' long (I could be wrong).
If your ENO is 10' long, try a 100" RL or make an adjustable one that can adjust from around 95-105". That should allow you to find your sweet spot.
Good luck.
