Tramp mesh

Hi Gang,


I need to build a new forward tramp - about 9' x 15'.

Has anybody here used this mesh from Sailrite?

Sailrite - Fabric, Canvas, and Sewing Machines Since 1969

I did see an older thread, but would like to hear about long term durability.

Re: Tramp mesh

That kind of mesh is not that good for offshore. It is strong, and holds up good but if you anticipate much wave action you should look for a more "open" mesh.

What he said. If you are planning on doing the work yourself you might try westcoastnetting.com who sell good, open mesh knotless polyester netting with UV coating. If you are feeling flush you could go with dyneema from net-sys.com.
