Limited life expectancy????? I am still using some ropes I bought in
the 1960's. Some type of synthetic material nicely woven into a 3/8
inch rope. You need to investigate further, or buy some better class
of rope!

I will keep that in mind. I have about 250 feet of blue 3/8" Nylon
that was my primary anchor rope from my sail boating days. It has
served from time to time as a temporary guy line for ham radio.
However, to hoist the fixture a winch with a brake sounds more
convenient.
