Guy ropes

Playing an important role in both comfort and safety, tent rope needs to be 100% reliable, lightweight, and strong. It’s also important they offer high resistance to UV and abrasion, flexibility, and can withstand the elements - so that, whatever the weather, you can be confident your tent will perform.Guy ropes can be easily lost or misplaced, so it’s a wise move to invest in spares. Keeping canvas taut not only maximises internal space and keeps your tent sturdy, but it also allows rainwater to run from the surface and prevents pooling.Our camping rope collection pulls together all the best options for tent guy ropes, including nylon braided cord and braid on braid polyester. Available on convenient reels and in a choice of diameters.
