In Response To: Other: odd question about nylon/poly (Scott Shurlow)

: Long story about why and how, but I'm building a chicken coop/run and want to
: put a SOF roof on it. I just got the list from Dyson and noticed the 7oz
: nylon and the 8oz polyester are the same price. This is something that
: will be in the sun forever and wonder if the poly will be better because
: of the UV. It will be covered with exterior poly, but still wonder if the
: poly would be safer. The only real stress it will have is during the
: winter and snow cover. Imagine this but with a SOF roof over it.

: Thanks,
: Scott

I'd use the nylon because of stresses long term with wind loading.
