material for ridgeline/clothesline...minimal sag and stretch when wet???

[William36]

suggestions welcome fior what type "rope" to use for tarp ridgeline and/or clothesline that doesnt stretch when wet and can be cranked up pretty taught those allowing minimal sag, worry of breakage, etc..

my first thought is of course to fashion up am-steel line about 30 foot long or so with adjustable loop on each end........that just seems SO OVERKILL!!!???

Thoughts and suggestions

Polyester covered Dyneema fits the bill, its less tangly and snaggy than Amsteel . I favour marine brands as they have water repellent coating but only know whats available in the UK

Dyneema arborist throwline is also very good. Samson's Zing-it is good. Stein Throwline is what I use.

Zing it, I have gone through three 180 ft. rolls and counting. I love the stuff. You can splice it, use it a number of ways.
