    Ridgeline thickness question.

    I want to add a ridgeline to my DIY hammock. However, I was wondering if a 1.75 mm Dyneema line would work? Is this to thin, for a ridgeline for a hammock?

    I use a ridgeline of 1.75 zing-it and it works great. I'm 250 lbs and have no issues with it.

    Zing-It 1.75 mm is pretty common for hammock ridgelines. I have it on all my hammocks.
