UHMWPE webbing instead of grosgrain?

Seems like an expensive proposition. I would think you might have difficulty as the dyneema webbing is strong in the axial direction but not transverse due to fiber alignment. I also think the webbing would hold up better, especially in strong wind. I could be completely off Mark.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I hadn’t considered the cross strength with dyneema. I’m not sure how the webbing is woven. Do they generally have perpendicular dyneema strands or is it some other less expensive material?</p>
Price isn’t too bad though. Meyers Tech sells 30′ of 1″ dyneema webbing for $29. Granted this is over 3x the price of grosgrain ribbon, but it’s not as bad as one might expect it to be.
