Hi
I have a DD hammock, and I now plan to buy a tarp to cover it.
I wondered what size tarps you preferred, I am thinking of a 3x3 metre (10ftx10ft) or a 3x4 meter (10ftx13ft), which would you choose?

Bigger is better in the case of you are canoeing. No real weight penalty, I'd recommend the big tarp.
Ambulo tua ambulo.
IMO, any tarp with less than 10' ft of coverage on the ridgeline is too small.
I have an 8'X10' tarp and a 10X12, and for some reason I always carry the 10X12. It only weighs a few ounces more, and the extra coverage is great. I say go with the bigger.
Psalm 19:1-3 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."
I would say 10' x 12' just because if you add the right tie outs; you can close the ends (doors) so as to give you just that little bit of additional coverage.
My go to size is 10x12 ... ridgeline being the 12 footer.

When weight is not a issue bigger is always better IMO.
