I am wanting to put a continuous ridgeline on my tarp but i was just curious what would be the best type of cordage to use for this

Zing It or Lash It is a pretty popular choice.

I'm using a 50' CRL made with 1.75mm Lash It. Weighs 1 oz.

If you're not used to splicing you might go with 2.2 instead of 1.75. It's significantly easier to work with imho.

If you prefer gray instead of yellow:

I use the gray 1.75mm...got a 180'...works great w/ Dutchware!

Also, if you order from Redden Marine be sure to use the forum discount code (hammockforums)! Their shipping is also pretty fast...3 days from WA to SC.
