16mm Natural Manila Rope On A Reel
Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope is a premium, heavy-duty rope perfect for a variety of applications. Known for its strength, durability, and minimal stretch, this rope is ideal for garden and timber work, swings, ladders, climbing ropes, and lawn or deck edging. Its flexibility and resistance to sunlight make it a reliable choice for outdoor use. Pre-soaked in oil, this rope requires no additional treatment, making it more convenient than natural sisal for decking projects and handrails.
Crafted from natural fibres, Grade 1 Manila Rope absorbs water and dampness, causing the rope to swell. As with all natural fibre ropes, it will shrink in length and expand in girth when wet. To account for this change, it is advisable to order an extra 15% in length. RopeServices UK is available to help you determine the correct length for your specific needs. The natural fibres also provide UV resistance, ensuring the rope remains undamaged even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
While the rope is soft laid, the natural fibres can be rough on the hands, so wearing gloves is recommended to prevent splinters. Despite this, the rope is suitable for many uses, including decking, climbing, assault courses, decoration, pet toys, and theatres. The combination of strength, durability, and natural aesthetic makes Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope a functional and attractive choice for both practical and decorative purposes.
Available on a reel for easy handling and storage, our Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope is designed to meet your exact needs, providing a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of projects.

Please note that all weights and breaking loads provided are approximate. The breaking loads may vary depending on how the rope is finished. It is imperative to subtract 10% from the breaking load for each splice made in the rope. Additionally, please be aware that weights can fluctuate, particularly with natural products, due to differences in manufacturing processes and materials utilised.
Characteristics Of Natural Rope
Characteristics Of Natural Rope
Natural rope is a type of rope made from natural fibers, such as sisal, manila, cotton, and jute. It is known for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. However, when natural rope is used outdoors and exposed to moisture, it can shrink, expand, and rot.
When natural rope gets wet, it can absorb water and cause the fibers to swell. This can cause the rope to expand and become more difficult to handle. In some cases, the rope can even become permanently deformed. On the other hand, as the rope dries, it can shrink and become more compact.
Therefore, if you plan to use natural rope outdoors, it is a good idea to allow for up to 15% extra length to account for any shrinkage or expansion that may occur. By doing this, you can ensure that you have enough rope to complete your project, even if the rope shrinks or expands slightly.
Moreover, when natural rope is continuously exposed to moisture, it can also start to rot. This can happen because moisture creates a favorable environment for bacteria and fungi to grow, which can cause the fibers to break down and weaken the rope’s overall strength.
To protect natural rope when it’s used outdoors, you can treat it with a decking oil. This type of oil is designed to protect wood and other natural materials from moisture damage, including rotting and warping. Before applying the oil, make sure the rope is clean and dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the decking oil using a brush or rag, covering all of the fibers. Allow the oil to dry completely before using the rope.
In summary, natural rope is a strong and durable material that can be used outdoors. However, it can shrink, expand, and rot when exposed to moisture. By allowing extra length and treating it with a decking oil, you can help protect the rope from moisture damage, extending its lifespan and preserving its strength and natural beauty.
