I tried out my new DIY 5' x 11' hammock last night to work out some issues and learned that my tarp is only a little longer than the hammock. There's probably only about 6 to 10 inches of coverage on each end. I'm using a Hennessy Hex tarp which I've heard is pretty popular with people using 11 foot hammocks. Anyhow it rained pretty hard and about one foot on each end of the hammock got wet. I don't know if it was from lack of coverage or water running down the whoopie slings. I think the tarp is marginal in length but a lot of people use them. So can anybody give me some tips about keeping the ends of the hammock dry. Thanks.
