If you want to use rope outside then you have a choice between natural products which are biodegradable and environmentally friendlier, or synthetic ropes which are more durable.
Lighting Support / Fun / Colourful | Our wide range of colours in Polypropylene, Polyester and in soft Polysilk - great for jazzing up your outdoor living space or adding a colourful touch to garden fences and designer-corners of your garden. |
Tying Down / General Use | Blue Polypropylene - our best selling rope is versatile, strong, rot-proof and hard-wearing. We stock a wide range of diameters. White Staplespun Rope is an excellent alternative, made from polypropylene fibres and giving excellent grip when knotting. |

Lawn Edging | Manila or Synthetic Hemp ropes. |
Swings and swing seats | We recommend Synthetic Hemp ropes. We also supply Extension/Adjustment Ropes for child swings. |
Decking Rope | We usually recommend Synthetic Hemp, or Polysilk in one of our vibrant colours. If you want a natural rope then choose Manilla, Hemp or Jute (which has a polypropylene core for extra strength). See our video on which rope to choose, and our measuring guide, below. |
