Interesting project. As much as I like Amsteel and dyneema, I think the
lifeline netting is better suited for less expensive line, like paracord or
lashing cord. Still, I appreciate the group's opinions and look forward to
simple, leass expensive solutions.
Thanks,

I am surprised yours has lasted 10 years with paracord.
Rod, I installed mine in a « W » pattern from toerail to lower life line from
pulpit to the stanchion near the shrouds. About 6 inches between each knots. I
used cow hitch on the line and on the rail with a little tension on the rope to
prevent slipping. I think the stretch of the paracord
I have used black paracord. Looks like new after 10 years. Northern climate.
