Description

Synthetic Hemp is one of our most popular ropes – and with good reason.

It looks and feels like a natural hemp rope but is actually made from spun polypropylene. So not only is it soft, flexible and looks like a 'traditional' natural rope, it is weatherproof, stronger and more durable. It won’t swell or shrink when wet, it floats on water, it’s easier on the skin than natural hemp and demonstrates excellent UV resistance.

Recommended for indoors and outdoors use.

Our 48mm rope can be used as barrier rope, rope rails, garden edging etc. It is used in public spaces such as parks, adventure playgrounds, tourist attractions and holiday areas. Maximum length 100m. We also offer Synthetic Hemp rope in other diameters.

If you are choosing Synthetic Hemp for decking or garden rails, wait for the rope to arrive before drilling holes. Holes will need to be larger than the rope diameter - we advise drilling a test hole first. Watch our video for guidance and top tips.

We also offer Synthetic Hemp rope on handy to use reels or by the metre, and we sell brass End Cup Plates for 48mm rope that will help to finish your project with style!

We only sell the highest quality Synthetic Hemp rope, and because we’re online we can keep our prices low. And we specialise in fast delivery - orders placed before 12 noon on a weekday will usually arrive the next day in most parts of the UK.

So order online now and we’ll be pleased to get you sorted!

Perfect product for the job

Purchased a length to form a curved border between a planting bed and gravel path. Great product as it looks so natural but will be around for years. Really swift dispatch too.

Just Right

Delivery from Ropes Direct was very quick and the synthetic rope, which we were using as part of a garden feature, looks and feels very good. You would not think it was synthetic.

Not just a rope supplier- advice and great service

I needed a thick climbing rope to attach to a tall tree in the garden, the previous rope breaking whilst my daughter was swinging on it. A short e-mail to the Company promptly advised the synthetic hemp rope which should not deteriorate outside or shrink in the rain.Perfect product which has already been tied with a bowline at the top of the tree !

5mm Grey HMPE 12-strand - 100m reel

First class experience from start to finish! One weekend I had a little project in my mind's eye for my garden with posts, solar lights and ropes, but I know nothing about ropes. I did a bit of research and found the Ropes Direct website clear and helpful, however I baulked a bit about cutting the rope and adding hooks myself (the video showed the use of a blowtorch). I sent an online query and less than 20 minutes after opening for business on the Monday I had a detailed quote, and an offer to cut the rope and fit the hooks for a very reasonable charge. I also received valuable advice about the "drape" I required. Within 24 hours the ropes, hooks and eyes were delivered! Very impressed with the website, quality of product and particularly the customer service from start to finish. I have no hesitation about recommending Ropes Direct.
