SK75 Dyneema (200kg) for tent guy lines/extensions?
Posted: Fri 15 Jul, 2022 8:54 pm
Has anyone used Dyneema fo this purpose - I have some surplus kite line? It’s maybe 1.5mm and rated to 200kg. I’ve flown some pretty big kites with it and it can launch me in the air no probs without breaking.
I tend to leave some lightweight cord on each of the peg loops/guy lines in-case the ground is rocky and I have to lay rocks on the pegs or push the peg into the ground further away from usual.
I have also considered replacing the guys with the Dyneema as it’s thinner/lighter. I’m just not sure if I’ll loose some shock absorption potentially causing some damage.
I would probably splice some loops in it and girth hitch it to the various points. No idea if Dyneema on thin webbing will be an issue in this application.
I have a WE Second Arrow X tent.
