I'm in the process of putting up a vertical similar to the irrigation pipe
vertical described in ON4UN's book (p.9-57).  The suggested guy rope is 400
lb. knot strength UV resistant hay bale twine.  It seems to me that the hay
bale twine should be an effective, low cost guy for this application.  Being
in the middle of Los Angeles, hay bale twine isn't at the local Costco.
Does anyone know where I can order a spool and have it shipped to me?
