Dan C Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I need to get some black colored rope to use as guy wires for some decorations. Basically I'm looking to buy the same stuff that comes with blowup decorations, only in a roll so I can make my own lengths. I've looked at local hardware stores and all they have is white.Any idea where to get this? Online or stores?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Cherry Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I got some at a Ace Hardware Store last year. Look for parachute cord, believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 para cord or trick line (lighting/theater supply) both work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
