The high strength, natural look, and moisture resistance make it a good choice of rope for handrails for rope railings or bridges. The color is a natural tan/light brown to simulate natural manila fiber.This 1-1/8" rope is rated at 30,150 lbs when new. It should be expected to last over 10 years outside, although if conditions are moist or if subjected to constant & direct UV, the strength can be reduced further. No testing has been done to establish a baseline for how long rope can be left in trees year round.
Measuring: When ordering, keep in mind that a thick rope like this will take extra material for knots. A bowline takes about 3-4 feet, and a simple overhand knot takes about 1 foot. Our bridge kits come with 4' extra on each side.
Common Industry Applications other than for Treehouse Building:
Climbing ropes for fitness
Nautical Theme Design with no mess
Heaving lines
Ship assist lines
- Tensile Strength, when new, is 30,150 lbs.
- Working Loads: No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can be made for any line because SWL's must be calculated based on application, conditions of use, and potential danger to personnel among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish working loads and safety factors based on best practices established by the end user's industry; by professional judgment and personal experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks. The SWL is a guideline for the use of a rope in good condition for non-critical applications and should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable property is involved, or in cases of exceptional service such as shock loading, sustained loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute specifies that the SWL of a rope shall be determined by dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength of the rope by a safety factor. The safety factor ranges from 5 to 12 for non-critical uses and is typically set at 15 for life lines.
