    An 11 x 8 would be a nice size. If weight is not an issue 11x10 is better.
    If you expect windy rain one set of doors would be nice.

    How much coverage do you want? What kind of weather do you expect? That would determine how wide your tarp should be, and if doors are needed or not.

    With regards to the length, the ridgeline of the tarp has to be longer than the ridgeline of your hammock. That means, that probably all hammock-specific tarps will work, as most have a ridgeline of 11'/132" or longer.
