Hello all. I'm trying to decide what system to order for a pole mod. I noticed some DYI pole mods were using a 145 angle pole joint where it crosses the ridgeline.

I like the idea of relieving stress on the pullouts and reducing "press down" on the ridgeline fabric (I don't use a continuous ridgeline)...but doesn't this reduce the effectiveness of the whole "pull out" force? Would I be better off just using slightly longer straight poles - to make it "bow up" more to take pressure off the ridgeline fabric and also pull OUT more than UP on the pullout tabs because they attach slightly lower down the side walls?
