16mm White Polyester Rope sold by the metre

16mm White Polyester Rope, cut to length

Our 3‑strand polyester rope is a firm favourite across boating, marine, outdoor use and industrial settings. Almost indistinguishable from nylon in appearance - but with even better all‑round performance - it’s no surprise polyester has become the go‑to choice for so many applications.

Whether wet or dry, this rope handles beautifully. It’s flexible, soft in the hand and tough enough to take on demanding jobs day after day. Because it sinks in water and offers excellent strength retention when wet, it’s especially popular for marine use.

Ideal for:

• Anchor warps (lines)
• Mooring lines
• Fender lines
• Lanyards
• Towing lines
• Halyards
• Net frame ropes
• General‑purpose industrial use
• Pulley lines

Easy to Work With

This rope splices effortlessly into soft eyes for mooring lines, lanyards and more. It knots securely, has minimal stretch and offers long‑lasting durability - making it a dependable choice you can trust.

The standard finish includes heat‑sealed ends on both sides. Prefer whipped, soft‑spliced or hard‑spliced ends? Simply visit our Rope End Finishes category to customise your order.

Made by ISO 9001 certified manufacturers for RopesDirect, compliant with EN ISO 1141.
