Default Pulley Arrangement For Horiz. Antenna ?

Hi,

Pretty sure I'll probably be able to come up with something that will more
or less work, but was wondering if any of you folks have a real clever
solution for this:

Will be stringing a horiz wire listening only antenna between two trees out
back.
Trees have a fair amount of movement, particularly in the winter.

So, I thought I'd fasten one end securely, and then use the pulley
arrangement, with a hanging weight, like you see in all the pix for this
sort of thing.

But, we get a lot of ice and freezing rain, and I doubt that the pulley
would really function well, if at all in the winter.
But, perhaps ?

Think a large metal ring, with a Dacron rope goint thru (one end to the wire
end) would be better ?
Coat Dacron with Silicone Spray ?

Or,... ?

For a 130 foot dipole stretched between 3 trees, I use inexpensive
screen door springs from the hardware store at each end. The springs
get rusty, but still work and my antenna has yet to break.
