Description
8mm Natural Manila Rope (By The Metre)
Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope is a robust and versatile solution ideal for a variety of applications across different trades. Known for its strength and durability, this rope is particularly favoured for its resistance to sunlight and flexibility. It has minimal stretch, making it suitable for garden and timber work, as well as for use in swings, ladders, climbing ropes, and lawn or deck edging. Its pre-soaked treatment in oil eliminates the need for additional preparation, setting it apart from other natural ropes like sisal, and making it a popular choice for decking projects and handrails.
Crafted from natural fibres, Grade 1 Manila Rope has the unique characteristic of absorbing water and dampness, causing the rope to swell. This property means the rope will shrink in length and expand in girth when wet, so it is advisable to order an extra 15% in length to accommodate this change. RopeServices UK is always on hand to assist with determining the correct length needed for your specific requirements. The natural fibres also contribute to the rope’s UV resistance, ensuring that it remains undamaged even when exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods.
Despite its many advantages, Manila rope’s natural fibres can be rough on the hands, especially when handling it extensively, so wearing gloves is recommended to avoid splinters. Its soft laid structure does offer some degree of softness, but the inherent coarseness of the fibres remains. Manila rope is commonly used in various applications including decking, climbing, assault courses and decorative purposes. Its combination of strength, durability, and natural aesthetic makes it a highly functional and attractive choice for both practical and decorative uses.
Our Grade 1 Natural Manila Rope is a premium, heavy-duty rope ideal for a wide range of applications. Known for its exceptional strength and durability, this rope is a reliable choice for both practical and decorative uses. The natural fibres give it a rustic appeal, while its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance.

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
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.
