Adjust the guyline length or feet position so the stand leans away from the anchor,
with the head end lower than the foot.
9. Attach and anchor the head end guyline. Its main purpose is to prevent the stand
collapsing toward the foot side. Do
not
tighten it, now or ever. Leave it slack so the
head end apex is free to move at least several inches. This allows both manual and
dynamic adjustments, and avoids overloading the poles.
10. Hang the hammock from carabiners in the daisy-chain suspension. Hammocks
shorter than 12
ʹ
(3.7
M
) need enough suspension to make up the difference with 12.
Thus, a 10
ʹ
hammock will need about 1’ of suspension per side. If your hammock has
a ridgeline (cord between gathered ends), you may remove the stand’s ridgeline to
simplify adjustments.
