I overheard someone talking about needing a lot of nylon rope for a 'boards' project. FYI, here's what I've already researched:
Single (or solid) braided nylon - cheaper, and easily slides against itself, or hooks, etc. - this is probably what you want to buy.
Double-braided nylon - more expensive, looks like a 'typical' corded rope, great for sustaining shock loads - I don't think we need this.
Pricing if you buy a spool/reel of 1/4" (approx. cost/ft, not including tax):
Home Depot, 800-ft: 0.13
Tacoma Screw, 1000-ft: 0.18
Grainger, 1000-ft: 0.14
Pacific Industrial (tax included), 500-ft: 0.103
ULINE (no tax, shipping figured in), 500-ft: 0.096
I deal with ULINE, and shipping from CA is only about 3 days. I could order it if someone is interested.
Incidentally, I've already purchased 4-ft.x100-ft. of that bright orange barrier fencing - it's thicker and tougher than the stuff we have been using. I haven't cut it lengthwise yet (I'm sitting on it), as I will be performing a small-scaled test on what I think will work. I basically don't want to have bought 1000-ft. of nylon rope if my idea doesn't work, and be stuck with fencing as well. If my test works, then I'll approach you guys with some $ figures, and give details as to my idea. Also, the progress is slow as I do most of this work at my place of employment, and lately I need to get out of there asap.
So there you have it.
Vegas bitches!
