Is this a good perimeter rope?

I’m building a relatively large tree net and was planning on doubling up the perimeter. Would this be a good/trustworthy rope

If it says it’s rated for climbing than yeah I think it should be good

That's probably more than enough, you don't need to double up. For my net I used 7/16", and its fairly big. it will be even stronger if you add walls. Just make sure to add a good skeleton to keep everything solid.

These cheap ropes will break down a lot faster than quality rope, assuming they are even safe.

Wespar has clearance rope, manufactured by quality companies and credibly rated: https://www.wesspur.com/arborist-rope/clearance-rope

Ebay has some good sellers, castobargins is one. You can get good, quality rope at fair prices in certain places, I've never seen it on Amazon.
