Will this twine work for hop growing?

I picked some of this up from Home Depot the other day, has anyone used this or know if it will work?

How high are you planning on running it? 6 ft and it would probably work. More than that and I would double it. The working load limit is 8 lb. Much of a wind on a bine and you can easily exceed that.

Ahh, I did not see that. I am growing them up about 12 feet to some O hooks I put into the side of my house. I am now thinking of going with some of this instead...

Sisal twine. I'd avoid it, and instead look for something based on Manila, seems to hold up better out in the elements over Sisal.

You are saying I should avoid sisal twine? Do you have a link to where I can buy some manila twine?

I personally would avoid Sisal, when I was doing research for natural fiber rope that would be outdoors I learned sisal is made from cactus fibers, where manila is made from Abaca over in the Philippines. Manila will hold up to UV/wet a lot better than Sisal.

AFA where to get it, I got mine from a spool at the farm store. If you have any in your area, that's where I'd look first. It should be right next to the Jute/Sisal ropes, it'll just be labeled Manila.
