I read/hear many people used in verticals and it is strong and UV
resistant
and very cheap compare with Dacron and Kevlar.
I have looking on ground, water and air here and it is not
available...unbelievable but it is the true !!!

What about Kevlar rope like one used in spiderbeams?
They also claim it is UV resistant and does not stretch.

Dacron has very low stretch and is available in black which is pretty UV
resistant. Nylon is pretty much like guying with rubber bands.
