Grade I Manila Natural Rope

Consisting of long, dark brown fibres, this natural rope offers excellent durability and is very flexible. Thanks to its great resistance to repeated salt water exposure, Manila rope is great for use outdoors as balustrade on decking, borders, fencing, and also in marine environments for lines and fishing nets.

The rope is named after the capital city of the Philippines, Manila - as the rope is made from the stems of a plant called Abaca, which is grown primarily in the country.

Please note that Manila rope shrinks a little when it becomes wet, which needs to be taken into account when covering exact distances - for example for sails, or as part of decking and barriers.
