yeah, i kind figured out the tensa setup but felt odd trying to get the black birds 16in" hang without touching the ground xD
oh shoot! i have the outdate manual regardless, i did a nice shoot just unzipping the bag and slide show my first setup photos
Which I did update and post into that thread.
Can you give a little more details on how this is rigged? It looks like both the left and right side are staked ("head" end and "foot" end) tightly. I thought one of the important things with a Tensa4 was that the head end had to hang freely so there was play in the system. A tight lash on both end and foot results in pole bending and collapsing.
Transverse/90-degree hammocks are a special case. They should be balanced centered instead of leaned headward. This requires at least mild tension on both guys.
With gathered end hammocks, tightening both ends pre-loads the poles, lowering the capacity by some unknown amount. It also interferes with other adjustments.
Some tension on both guys with a transverse hammock is not problematic because the more upright poles are less stressed to start with. The closer to horizontal the poles are, viewed from the stand’s side as well as from one end to the other, the more stress. The situation we’re trying to avoid is a person tightening both ends to raise the hammock, then widening the base to bring it back down. This is a recipe for bowing the poles below the rated weight limit.
