After spending a cool night sleeping in my hammock out in my air conditioned hammock room...i thought i would plan for this winter and figure out how to get the doors to close all the way on the superfly tarp.
Easy solution is to tie a cord across to connect the two triangles shortening the distance between the apexes essentially letting the doors come together rather than be held open by the triangle.
This setup on mine yielded a distance of 10' 6" from new apex to apex...but it's fully adjustable to make it longer or shorter depending on the tarp.
Pros:
EASY!!!
Gives me a ridgeline to hang my wet clothes or headlight or Luci light or whatever
No complicated process to re-do the dogbones
NOT permanent! Only do this as needed when i want to fully close the doors.
Automatic drip lines
Cons:
Will be a little more tippy. I couldn't see the difference at first, but yea it does change it slightly. Slightly.
Options: Putting clips on the end for fast application and for a fixed distance.
