I must be the exception that proves a rule, but back when living in
rural Alabama I measured, cut, and hung mine from pine trees and didn't
have to make any adjustments...
When it blew down during hurricane Fredrick in '79, the replacement,
identical length, never quite matched the original, of course I had to
use different trees, maybe there's a botanical (resin) factor involved?
