3/8 inch Manila Rope Three Strand Twisted Cut to Length by the foot
Timeless Classic!
Manila Rope is an inexpensive, natural fiber rope that is treated with a preservative before leaving the Philippines. Stronger & more economical than true hemp, manila is made with abacá leaves, a close variant to today’s modern banana plant.
This flexible & decorative rope has that perfect nautical look when new or rustic charming when weathered. Holds knots well with a great hand grip texture makes manila a popular choice for handrail or landscape projects.
Although this rope has UV resistant fibers, it may shrink when used outdoors by 15%. Also, during the manufacturing process there is a mineral oil applied for added durability. When new, you may smell a slight oil odor that will fade over time.
Our 3/8 inch natural fiber “hemp” manila rope is ideal for any decorative indoor or outdoor rope project. This rope has low stretch and good abrasion resistance, but poor chemical resistance, and is subject to rot. Ideal for a low-cost general-purpose rope. Used in shipping, construction, agriculture and many other areas.
