Tarp Ridgeline

**tekape** · 08-12-2010, 21:57

I am in the process of putting my OES MacCat Deluxe into service (I built some tie outs that I'm happy with)...now I need to do a ridge line and so I'm curious what line material is favored for light weight and strength. Is amsteel overkill?

Thanks for your opinions.

I use 1.25mm Z-Line from Zpacks.com.

Braided Mason Twine, is nice and light. (not the twisted stuff)

I second the Braided Mason Twine. $4 for a roll at Home Depot. I use it for all my tarp lines. Whatever you do, get a bright color so you don't take your head off, or trip, when walking around.

Zing-it or Lash-it for me.

Yep, me too. its strong, lightweight and the near zero stretch factor means less fiddling with readjusting everything. Set it and forget it. (as seen on tv

)

Zing it for ridge and prussicks. Braided mason's line for guylines.

Where's the best place to purchase Zing It? I would like to make a tarp ridge line out of it.

Redden marine has good prices on it. the hf discount works on zing/lash it also.
Last time I searched they had the lowest price even without the extra discount
