I've got some lime green dynaglide I used for a tarp suspension. Not sure off the top of my head what it's rated for weight-wise though.

ive found some fairly lime-ish green dynaglide. its 2.2m i may have gotten it from ahe im not sure maybe from tree stuff. it was rated for 1000lbs.
yep , that green dynaglide is about as neon lime as i've seen. reports of 300 pounders using dynaglide on the hammock with success- though its margin of
safetly is less that of the green amsteel blue.
zpacks sells some awesome bright yellow/green line for tarps.

You can get yourself some lime green tree straps to go with it from strapworks! Strapworks.png

For your tarp WallyWorld often has lime green utility cord. Its polypropylene IRRC. Usually found in the hunting/fishing/outdoor section...
I believe i may have some of this green cord from walmart. Small size, maybe 1/8", braided sheath with core. BRIGHT green. Holds a knot well and seems strong enough for tarp hanging. Comes on a small spool of 45'. For the price vs length, if i didnt already have this cord id probably get zing it instead.
Sounds like the same stuff. Thats what I'm using for my tarps...Originally Posted by robv60
Its decent enough. Ive seen it at Academy sports too. Says its polypropylene. I dont know if itll stretch in the rain but it seems pretty low stretch otherwise. I was actually playing with this rope last night and found that it holds a prussik well with a mere two loops. I imagine it cant be spliced with the core though so thats something to consider.
