[TowerTalk] Guying a vertical...???

[Bryan Swadener]

In other words, "double-braided Nylon" rope.The Nylon material does well with UV.The double-braided construction is bestto limit stretch. It is used a lot on sailboats.You'll find it in a marine supply store.McMaster-Carr sells it as well.
I've used it for decades to support wire andvertical antennas.
