What size rop and how much tension are you using. Nylon is naturally stretchy, but highly susceptible to weather and UV light. After a c; /archives//html/Towertalk/2008-04/msg00694.html (9,671 bytes)

Tie a fishing weight or a big nut, a couple ounces should do, on a short rope, just a couple inches, and put it a few feet up the guy fro; /archives//html/Towertalk/2008-04/msg00702.html (14,917 bytes)
