With a 12' tarp, you'll lose some side coverage as you'll need to hang the tarp a bit higher to clear the hammock suspension. If you have a wide tarp, it won't be that big of a deal but with a narrower tape like the Minifly, your sides will be a bit more exposed. With an 11' tarp, you can really hang it low, close to the hammock ridgeline to help with getting better side protection.
You can use the custom tarp builder option on the Warbonnet site to get a mini fly that’s long enough.

I have a silpoly mountainfly, which seems like a perfect tarp to me.
Thanks. After doing some research and listening to some of the advice on this forum, I decided that I shouldn’t be so nervous about an 11’ tarp. I wound up ordering an 11’ Thunderfly. Would’ve gone with the Minifly, but WB’s inventory was pretty much depleted.

Good choice...I dig mine, it's my main tarp. It rained pretty hard before sun up. Wasn't windy, but I had it cinched pretty low just in case. Stayed completely dry.
