Default Nylon vs Dacron Rope For Outdoor Usage ?

Hello:

Will be putting up an outside antenna which will necessitate the use
of some rope on the end to tension it.

Will Nylon braided rope last a "pretty long" time outdoors ?

I know that UV Resistant Dacron Rope is the recommended choice
for outdoor usage, but it sure is a lot more expensive.


Nylon stretches, dacron doesn't. UV degrades both but nylon goes
faster.

Your best bet is wire as louie suggested. I'd use 7x19 wire for
flexibility.
