Hello,
That electric fence webbing is available is most ranch and farm stores.
They make different colors and widths.
Something to think about when you need something light weight, back-pack
portable???
Would be nice to use at field day, high visibility so people would not
walk
into the antenna.
For a year or two I have been thinking of using the webbing, but 14 ga
wire is cheaper.

I've seen them used before, but they're not a great stealth antenna simply
because they (the wires) are made to be seen by horses.
The extra wind loading could prove interesting in engineering a way to keep the
antenna up.
