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.

BV.



You could go to your local hardware and look at
what the packages of rope say to use. OTOH, if
you go to the hardware store, bypass the rope and
buy wire cable (often sold with a plastic cover as
clothes line). 1/8" wire cable will last a lot
longer than rope.
