24mm Natural Manila Rope x 45 Metres

Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope

Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope is a heavy duty, strong rope that meets the needs of most trades. Manila rope is flexible, resistant to sunlight and very durable. It has very little stretch, making it ideal for use in gardens and timber work, swings, ladders and climbing ropes, and also lawn and deck edging. Grade 1 manila rope is more commonly used than natural sisal for decking projects and handrails as this rope is pre-soaked in oil so there is no need to treat it before use.

Grade 1 Manila Rope is made up of natural fibres. These fibres absorb water and dampness which causes the rope to swell. All natural fibred ropes will shrink in length and expand in girth when wet. RopeServices UK recommends you to allow an extra 15% when ordering your length. If you are unsure on the total length you should purchase, then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our 3 strand natural Manila rope is made from natural fibres. This rope is UV resistant, which means it can be left in sunlight and no damage will occur.

Manila rope is soft laid, but with the natural fibres, it is not so easy on the hands. This rope can be used for many things like decking rope, climbing rope, assault course rope, decoration rope, pet toys., theatres.

When using this rope, we recommend that you wear gloves to avoid spelks.

Please note that all weights and breaking loads provided are approximate. The breaking loads may vary depending on how the rope is finished. It is imperative to subtract 10% from the breaking load for each splice made in the rope. Additionally, please be aware that weights can fluctuate, particularly with natural products, due to differences in manufacturing processes and materials utilised.

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.
