cmoulder,

Thats an approach I never thought of. Thanks for the suggestion.

When you say head end of the webbing or foot end of the webbing, are you talking about where the suspension meets the hammock connection?

Ive been using head end/foot end webbing height on the tree, as a marker. Your way, if I understand it correctly, would work better, as your dealing solely with the end product of the hammock height itself. The way Ive been doing it, marking the suspension height on the trees, does not factor in the distance between the trees and how it affects the lay of the hammock. Your way seems more exact.

Good weekend to all.
