    Tarp sizing

    I am looking at getting the Kelty Noah 12 for my Dutch hammock. It is 11 footer, will the kelty Noah 12 be big enough?

    What if you want to hang it square...i.e. not on the diagonal??? I'm speaking of the tarp of course. Like this guy did:

    I have a Dream Hammock 11' Dangerbird. Will that fit under there?? I mean with the "doors" closed...

    I just bought a Noah 12 off Woot for an awesome price... I hope so.

    The Noah is 12' square it will be bigger if you hang the tarp at a diagonally. I used to use a Noah 12 and hung it square with the ends closed like doors with a 11' Dutch hammock

    I should also say that this will most likely be my son's. I just bought a Superfly on eBay! So...that oughta work for me I'm thinking. But I think the Kelty will be great for my son. Then again...HE might sleep under the Superfly if it's more "shelter." We get to sort this all out over time. Fun stuff!

    Thanks for y'all's replies. Good folks on here!
