PSA: I used to think a certain brand of governor rope was overpriced junk.
My old foreman in Chicago always swore by the 'Sure-Grip' brand for 3/8 inch ropes, but I thought he was just stuck in his ways. I bought a cheaper generic for a job last fall, and it started fraying after about six months. Had to go back and replace it, which cost me more in the end. Anyone else have a brand they trust that actually lasts?

Ever check the rope's UV rating?

Oh man, big yes. Left a static line on my deck for a season once and it got super brittle. Sun just eats cheap rope. I mean, it's one of those things you don't think about until you're holding a handful of dry, faded fibers. Now I just check the tag or ask before I buy anything that'll live outside.
