    Ridgeline height baove Switchback

    Can someone tell me how high the ridgeline sets above the whipped ends of this hammock? Pitching a fly close to the ends is something that I find may be useful. It appears to be somewhat higher, though I never thought that was possible. TIA!

    And the title should read "above"...heh

    There is no ridgeline on the hammock per se. The netting is suspended by shock cord and line on both ends and is connected by a line on the inside. It can be suspended lower if you want, it just means you have less head room. Also, the ends are not whipped, there is a sewn end channel for the suspension. Just clarifying is all.
