Description

Premium 4mm Black Bungee / Shock Cord on a 100m reel

Upgrade to Marine-Grade Durability. Our 4mm black shock cord is engineered for performance.

Unlike standard cord, the multi-strand natural rubber core is encased in a marine-quality Polyester outer cover. This combination makes it tougher, more abrasion-resistant, and significantly more durable in harsh environments.

Why Choose Our Marine-Grade Cord?

  • Superior UV Resistance: Designed to withstand prolonged sunlight.
  • 100% Waterproof: The polyester jacket resists rot so it won’t lose strength when wet - perfect for marine and outdoor use.
  • Quality assured: Manufactured in Europe for RopesDirect by a certified ISO 9001 company.

Usage & Longevity Tips

While this cord is capable of 100% extension (doubling its length), we recommend a "Sweet Spot" stretch of 25%–30% for maximum lifespan. To maintain the structural integrity of the internal rubber, we suggest a safe working limit of 50% stretch.

Ideal For:

  • Marine & watersports: Canoes, kayaks, and boat rigging.
  • Outdoor gear: Rucksacks, camping equipment, and technical clothing.
  • Professional use: Stage rigging, curtain sides, securing light cargo.
  • Home & garden: Organising sheds, bundling timber, tarpaulins
  • Cars and bikes: Securing small loads, roof racks, trailers

We specialise in fast delivery so orders placed before 12 noon on a weekday will usually arrive the next working day in most parts of the UK.

Snappy product, snappy delivery

Well made to judge by the feel of it. I've already restored a garden chair with it and have no doubt that it'll be perfect for the trailer cover which I'll be restoring next.

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.
