Adjustable Structural Ridgeline Math Help

[Scalz]

Hi all,
I am presently changing out my stock suspension on my Hammock Bliss Sky Bed Bug Free. I ordered all material from Dutch to make up whoopies and ridgelines. Finished making the amsteel whoopies and the zing-it ridgeline for the tarp.
I'm now onto the adjustable structural ridgeline which will be made from dynaglide. Need help with math.
Overall is 142". My calculations for 83% are .83 x 142" = 118". That's if it were a one piece ridgeline.
Since I want it adjustable, my question is how much adjustment should I build into the adjustable ridgeline. From what? (smallest length) to what? (longest length).

Thanks in advance and for all the information I have gleaned thus far from this great forum,
Scalz

Try this, and make sure on the bottom you go to the ridgeline tab https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...0&d=1299872378

Also, there is a link in my sig for a good list of tutorials

10 to 12 inches above and below 118 inches should give you enough variability to get the sag you want.

And perhaps factor in a few more inches if you want to bury the tail end of the adjustable leg back into itself so it can't go back through the adjustable bury.

Hi all,
I am presently changing out my sock suspension...

like these?

Pretty darn funny. Do you sell Pringles on the side?

Thanks Guys,
All done with making ridgeline. Using the excel ridgeline calculator I got 99 inches for my min length and 128 for max length. That covers a ten inch adjustment either side of 118". Try it all out tomorrow.

Awesome, hope everything works out perfectly.

Let us know what you end up with.

Maybe I missed math class that day, but 128 - 99 = 29" (14.5"+/-) which seems WAY over adjustable.

If I was putting one together, I would make my range 112" to 124". This gives you a 6" +/- adjustment factor which should be fine.

Just my opinion, HYOH.
