I haven't noticed any wear on the tarp from being in contact with the ridge line. Actually there is little contact due to the tarp being pulled out on the ends. The TRL is as Nanok said slightly slack. It usually hangs down an inch or 2 under the tarp. Some times i hang clothes from it to protect them from weather. It's still close enough that in wind the tarp gets support.
I'm probably not explaining this well.
TRL clips to the tree strap carabiner and runs under the tarp to the other tree strap carabiner. The tarp is connected to it on one end with a prusik around the TRL and larks headed to the tarp. The prusik allows me to center the tarp over the hammock. The other end of the tarp has a dutch wasp also larks headed into the tarp.
When I set the TRL, it has a slight sag, it's not a deliberate sag I'm just not trying to make it super tight. Then I adjust /tighten the prusik to center the tarp.
