A 10 x 10 poly tarp will probably work better over a bridge hammock if you hang it as a simple A-frame; you'll have a foot and a half or so on each end (not quite enough to cover the suspension triangles, so you'll have to install four drip lines) and enough width at the corners to keep the entirety of your hammock spreader bars dry.
