Natural rope is a type of rope made from natural fibers, such as sisal, manila, cotton, and jute. It is known for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. However, when natural rope is used outdoors and exposed to moisture, it can shrink, expand, and rot.
When natural rope gets wet, it can absorb water and cause the fibers to swell. This can cause the rope to expand and become more difficult to handle. In some cases, the rope can even become permanently deformed. On the other hand, as the rope dries, it can shrink and become more compact.
Therefore, if you plan to use natural rope outdoors, it is a good idea to allow for up to 15% extra length to account for any shrinkage or expansion that may occur. By doing this, you can ensure that you have enough rope to complete your project, even if the rope shrinks or expands slightly.
Moreover, when natural rope is continuously exposed to moisture, it can also start to rot. This can happen because moisture creates a favorable environment for bacteria and fungi to grow, which can cause the fibers to break down and weaken the rope’s overall strength.
To protect natural rope when it’s used outdoors, you can treat it with a decking oil. This type of oil is designed to protect wood and other natural materials from moisture damage, including rotting and warping. Before applying the oil, make sure the rope is clean and dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the decking oil using a brush or rag, covering all of the fibers. Allow the oil to dry completely before using the rope.
In summary, natural rope is a strong and durable material that can be used outdoors. However, it can shrink, expand, and rot when exposed to moisture. By allowing extra length and treating it with a decking oil, you can help protect the rope from moisture damage, extending its lifespan and preserving its strength and natural beauty.
