    I believe both my wbbb and my xlc have structural ridgelines. Non-adjustable.

    I was finally able to get back to the yard and I was definitely way off. I was over compensating for the slight extra distance with too much height on my tree straps. Also I tried to simulate a little more taughtness like my old hammock by keeping my ridgeline a little tighter than what the Brandon's video shows and I think it made a difference in my case (I think it was causing my angles to be steeper than ideal also). Now that I am in the ballpark of comfortable I think I can begin finding the sweet spot for me on a regular basis.

    My only concern is making sure it is not too tight adding unnecessary tension to the fabric.

    Thanks a million guys.
