DH replaces his polypropylene boat-tying ropes every year, but if not required to keep a heavy boat fast in a high wind, rope would probably last much longer.

I asked him, and he said he'd go with hemp or sisal if making a fence; the point of using polypropylene is that it floats.

Sun rots things really, really fast.
