@neauoire the nice thing about lifelines is they're not under exceptionally high tension and lashings give you quite a bit of margin so you don't need the super fancy heat set dyneema. the cheaper regular stuff will do.

@chainik we're going to go see what's available to us tomorrow, I think about getting the basic stuff as well. Not sure what thickness yet, but something that's thick enough that we can hold onto.

@neauoire i used 6mm which is thick enough to comfortably hold onto for the top one and 4mm which is strong enough but too thin to be comfortable for the bottom one. 8mm might be even better but that starts getting expensive. watch out for chafe passing through the stanchions!

@chainik I was going to put a thick heatshrink or a piece of tube where it goes through. Did you put anything?

@neauoire i didn't but my stanchions have little plastic inserts in the holes.
