Drip loops. Look them up. ;-)
If your hammock is a bit long look at moving off center a foot or so. Do a little pencil time or just lay out two parallel lines in the floor 10 ft apart. If you move the foot 12 in L and the head 12 in right your ridge line just got longer. Some math or a tape measure will show you. You lose a bit of coverage but most of the loss is where the hammock is narrow. ;-)
