Sizing and Coverage
Choose ridgeline length to provide coverage beyond your hammock ends. Wider configurations extend protection farther down the sides; narrower configurations reduce material and weight.
Edge Configurations
Regular Hex Cut: Straight long edges with slight catenary curves along the angled end panels to improve pitching performance.
Catenary Cut: Approximately 2–3" of deflection applied to all sides for a tighter pitch.
