Description

40mm Manila Rope cut to length

Manila rope has been used for centuries. It is made from fibres taken from the Abaca plant, and is biodegradable yet strong and flexible. It is especially resistant to sunlight and stretching.

As it contains natural oils, Manila can withstand hot summers and cold, wet winters, so it is probably more resilient outdoors than other ropes made from natural fibres.

Uses for 40mm Manila rope include:

  • decking, handrails
  • rope rails and fencing
  • lawn edging
  • natural-rope barriers and boundaries
  • room edging
  • architectural / internal decor
  • rope bannisters
  • gym climbing ropes
  • battle ropes
  • boats

The standard finish for this rope is for both the left and right ends to be taped. If you would like them to be whipped or eye-spliced please visit our 'rope ends' section.

We also sell this rope in a great value 220m coil.

Characteristics

It is a rich brown in colour, has a hairy texture and is easy to grip and tie knots with.

Manila behaves just like any natural rope in different weather conditions. In the wet it can swell in diameter and shrink in length. Also the stated diameter can vary slightly: For example this rope will have been measured as 40mm in the factory, but may be slightly thicker because it is at rest - perhaps by several millimetres. This is all part of the usual properties and charm of a natural rope.

When used as a decking rope the holes in the posts will need to be bigger than the rope and not the same size - it's best to wait for the rope to arrive before selecting your drill bit. Watch our video for guidance and top tips.

Great product and great service

There were many choice available with ropesdirect and once ordered i received regular updates plus a follow up once iy had been delivered. I had ordered rope size that was 3mm smaller than the pre-drilled holes . Unfortunately I couldn’t get the rope through but upon contacting ropes direct they sent a video through on how to get the rope through. This worked perfectly so not only was the product great the service matched it
