What line would you suggest would be best for a lifeline net?  Leechline?  
Lashing cord?  Paracord?

I have used black paracord. Looks like new after 10 years. Northern climate.

Stus-List Fwd: Re: [EXTERNAL] Lifeline safety netting

[Bruno Lachance via CnC-List]

Rod, I installed mine in a « W » pattern from toerail to lower life line from 
pulpit to the stanchion near the shrouds. About 6 inches between each knots. I 
used cow hitch on the line and on the rail with a little tension on the rope to 
prevent slipping. I think the stretch of the paracord helps to keep it tidy.
I remember using good quality paracord, they are not all the same. It took some 
time but I like the result as It doesn’t affect the good looks of the boat!

This is more to help keep sails on deck and i like the added safety when 
working on the bow. Not enough for kids or pets.

Doesn’t it stretch a lot?  Do you rig it like Joe’s?

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

On the 34+, the perforated aluminum toe rail has relatively sharp edges.  It 
cuts through my cover ties every winter, so I suspect it would do the same to 
nylon line wrapped through it.  That is why I am looking into dyneema netting.  
I am surprised yours has lasted 10 years with paracord.  What are you wrapping 
around at deck level?  Dave

Dave, I have the same vintage more square shape toe rail profile . But with cow 
hitch around it there is not a lot of movement/friction. I don’t use my netting 
as a hammock!

Dyneema would sure be nice and durable, more slippery so the knots will slip a 
bit more. I have redone my lifeline with gray dyneema and love it so far after 
3 seasons. I do my best to prevent chafe.

Mine has never chafed through, I replace it when it looks scroungy.

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Lifeline safety netting

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Interesting project.  As much as I like Amsteel and dyneema, I think the 
lifeline netting is better suited for less expensive line, like paracord or 
lashing cord.  Still, I appreciate the group's opinions and look forward to 
simple, leass expensive solutions.

Thanks,
Chuck S
