I'm getting ready to try my first DIY bridge and have been researching sources for the 1/2" polyester webbing commonly used along the sides. Is there a minimum breaking strength I need to look for? Do I need something with a breaking strength >1000lb, comparable to the amsteel used in the rest of the suspension, or is there less force at work here? Strapworks has 1/2" polyester with a 1800lb breaking strength (600lb working load) and a polypro with a 450lb breaking strength (150lb working load). Considerable price difference (.41/ft vs. .13/ft), but I'm assuming I need the heavier stuff. Any other good sources besides Strapworks? I saw some at DIY Gear Supply, but it was white.
