Why is 28mm synthetic hemp popular as garden rope?

Synthetic hemp has a number of properties that make it suitable as garden rope.  For example, it is durable and hard-wearing. It demonstrates excellent UV resistance and doesn’t swell or shrink when it gets wet – making it perfect for prolonged outdoor use.

It’s also incredibly soft to touch. It has an attractive natural hemp appearance and, when bought in this 28mm diameter, offers a wide range of potential uses for the home gardener.

How can I use 28mm synthetic hemp in my garden?

It is often used as a rope fence or border – perhaps to surround decking or a lawn – or to create a fun children’s play area with rope swings and ladders. Check out our blog – ‘Get your garden summer-ready with garden ropes’– for a range of creative ideas.
