Yup – I just take a knife to it, cut it off, and replace every 5 years or so. Joe Coquina

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.

But with cow hitch around it there is not a lot of movement/friction. I don’t use my netting as a hammock! Dyneema would sure be nice and durable, more slippery so the knots will slip a bit more. I have redone my lifeline with gray dyneema and love it so far after 3 seasons. I do my best to prevent chafe.

It cuts through my cover ties every winter, so I suspect it would do the same to nylon line wrapped through it. That is why I am looking into dyneema netting. I am surprised yours has lasted 10 years with paracord. What are you wrapping around at deck level?
