Yes. It will work. I’ve also done it by taking two lengths of shock cord and tied them to the loops and then pulled them out to the end of the hammock. So no ridgeline needed and no line between the loops. I hope that makes sense.

It has four loops attached to the bug netting, for running two ridge lines (one on either side) which I’m hoping to replace with just one. Do you think this technique might work for supporting the bug netting down the hammock’s centerline? Any concerns the netting wouldn’t hold up?

These “alligator”-type clips could work, but it puts more abrasion on your tarp or hammock that could cause tears, especially for tarps made of lightweight materials like silnylon or light polyester. The donut style illustrated is much more gentle.
