Paracord question

[Johnnyboy1971]

Is there such a thing as heavy duty paracord. I know proper 550 is strong stuff but I'm looking for something thicker in diameter, 550 plus half again or twice. Is this available.
I have looked at 6mm accessory cord but it is quite stiff and doesn't knot too well.

Try searching for purlon rope that should produce the sort of stuff you're after.

There's some 750 cord out there but Im not so sure whether thats going to be thick enough for you. What you planning on using it for?

What you're after is Cargo parachute cord

Great strong stuff, pretty snag and stretch freet

Note no affiliation to the supplier... yada yada yada

Thats the stuff. Many thanks for this.
I have a heavy canvas tarp and need something I can get a real good grip on when pulling it up tight.

The stuff your after for your tarp is 1500N braided (para) cord, its usually white with a black fleck and is perfect for tarping. I have even used it to haul a large deer up for gralloching. Its also about 10mm so it will still pass through the standard brass tarp eyelets. I use it on my tarp and attach it using larkshead knots so it is easily adjustable. You can also get a similar variant that is manufactured flat, like a ribbon. Have a look on some sailing websites, they will have it as the round stuff gets used for all sorts and the flat stuff is used as safety lines on most commercial liferafts!

How about the white ipk cord, is that any good?
