My tarp in the blog was a 3x3m DD tarp, Setup in a diamond shape to get maximum length over the hammock webbing! (as I stated above, this didn't stop the water running down the tree and soaking along!) .. Although a square set up would easily cover it with a 3x3.. 2.5x2.5.. not sure on the square (working at mo so can't measure) should be fine on the diamond though.. But if it's windy and a bit chilly, you might not get the protection from the elements blowing through! I do love a diamond setup, great for the day as you only need one tie off point to lift it and have a porch area to chillout under, but when the elements are against you, a low down square is probably best! If you do modify the webbing with carabiners, make sure there good climbing ones and not cheap! They will have to take your wieght! I paid £8 each for mine! Although you should be able to get slightly cheaper ones that are strong! I got strong and light weight!
Hope to see you at the meet.. Pop over for a coffee!
