    Tarp ridge line

    Is the Para cord ok and strong enough to use as a tarp riderline?

    It's strong enough but will stretch over time. Better off with 2.2mm dynaglide or 1.75mm Zing-it.

    I have had paracord fail in hi winds I use the zing it now. I am sure the paracord was with out the inner part, and it was a large tarp and gusts were strong and long.

    You can also use the 1.75 Lash-it if you want stealthy grey. I prefer high vis lines but some people like to hide.
