Topband: Bailing twine and guy stuff like that

[Tom Rauch]

The bindings from hay rolls for my "guest cows" last about
one or two years, then they powder right up. I can rip them
up with my hands after a year or two.

Normal nylon rope seems to last pretty well, but
polypropylene goes away also.

I'd really be a little reluctant to use materials not known
to survive a long time in UV exposure. I'm pretty sure they
do not put UV inhibitors in bailing twine. I'm certain they
don't put it in the stuff around here.
