However, if you don\u2019t have a hammock stand or trees at the right distances, you will need a ridgeline to obtain the right sag.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing a hammock ridgeline will give you a place to hang your gears instead of stressing on the hammock. In addition, you\u2019ll also get something to hold on to while stumbling at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for the minimum extra weight on the hammock, it\u2019s a good thing to tie across. Initially, it takes more time to <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutsleeps.com\/how-to-set-up-a-hennessy-hammock\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"958\">set up than the hammocks<\/a> without them.

Adding a ridgeline is a one-time investment; you don\u2019t have to do it repeatedly.

Moreover, these types of ridgelines are attached to the trees and do not impact the structure of your hammock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you use a structural ridgeline, your hammock&#8217;s structure changes. These ridgelines modify your hammock accordingly and present you with the optimum amount of sag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-86fefb1 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-86fefb1 hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#9b51e0 !important;width:100% !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-heading ugb-heading ugb-d5f970d ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-d5f970d .ugb-heading__title{color:#000000;text-align:center}.ugb-d5f970d .ugb-heading__bottom-line{background-color:#ff6900 !important;height:2px !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-d5f970d .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-heading__title\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>How long should my hammock ridgeline be?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"ugb-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although several factors determine the length of your hammock ridgeline, a formula that always works is the 83 percent rule.

Now, two types of hammock ridgelines come with their unique tying mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dealing with a non-structural ridgeline, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutsleeps.com\/how-to-tie-hammock-knot\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"333\">tie it<\/a> between the trees and not on the hammock. It is independent of the hammock and runs from one tree to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While using a structural ridgeline, you must fix it between the rings of your hammock.
