Bank Line Buying Guide
Bank line cordage is a black polypropylene twine that is similar to tennis netting. It is exceptionally strong,
sunlight (UV) resistant, and inexpensive. This makes it a favorite for:
Netting
Outdoor survival packs
Snares
Whipping
Bushcraft
Hand sewing
Lashing
Beading
We sell bank line in six sizes or thicknesses. As thickness increases bank line strength increases, the yards per pound
decreases, and cost per yard increases. Let the thickness of the material and your strength needs guide your choice.
