    SLD's 13' WH PAIRED WITH WBRR?

    Using both of these products for more than a year now and have tried hanging the tarp and hammock at different heights with no success in being able to closed ALL the snaps on both doors. Even tried switching out the original dog bones (40") for 36" ones but that caused the RR to tip to easily and I'm only 5'10" weighing 165-170. Has anyone with the same gear been able to achieve results where he/she can close all snaps on the doors,...and if so I'd sure appreciate a 'heads up' on how it's done. Thanks for any helpful input.

    I'm a little puzzled at your situation because the numbers add up. That is, Brandon has suggested that the apex points - where the side suspension comes together - should be about 13 ft. apart. And you have a 13 ft tarp. So either you are hanging "tighter" than usual (apex points further than 13 ft) or your doors are angling in, so they are shorter than 13 ft apart where the apex point comes out. Perhaps a tape measurer will suggest which component, tarp or RidgeRunner apex points are longer/shorter than 13 ft.

    Thank you for the well made points/suggestions which I'll definitely check as soon as our local weather here clears so I can hang,...and I do appreciate the response, Sir.
