    system to raise and lower ridgeline

    I was thinking it would be nice to have some height adjustment.
    I am picturing a prussic knot (with loose ends; not a circle) attached to the RL with about a foot of slack. One loose end would pass thru the tarp tieout. Both loose ends would go into a cord lock. You could quickly raise the roof by sliding the cord lock.

    To have a lot of adjustability the ridgeline would need to be long so it may not be worth it.

    Like most things here, I bet someone has already tried it.

    Any thoughts?

    Replace the knots at the bottom with cord locks for quick adjustability.
    Get a little height when you go into porch mode.

    I assumeyou are talking tarp RL?

    I just use a loop one end around one tree and a truckers hitch to the other. This means each end is just looped around the tree. Since I use Parachord there is a little give. All I have to do is pull one each end and lift them a little at a time.
