Those with a diameter of 6-24mm are 3-strand, whilst those with a 28mm or 36mm diameter have a sturdy 4-strand construction. Either way, they come with PVC taped ends (to the left and right) as standard. However, you can also choose from a range of other rope end finishes – including whipped, soft spliced, hard spliced and more.

FAQs

What is flax hemp rope?

Flax hemp rope is made from fibres extracted from the stems of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum) – 100% natural and fully biodegradable. The fibres are spun to create tough multi-strand threads.

Aside from being environmentally-friendly, natural hemp rope also boasts a number of other useful properties. For example, flax is recognised as one of the strongest natural fibres on the planet, and this superior strength is echoed in the final product. It also benefits from:

• a soft, pleasant texture
• the ability to float on water
• resistance to heat
• resistance to UV rays
• durability
• flexibility
• good knot retention

What can flax hemp rope be used for?

One of the main advantages of hemp rope is its versatility.

It used to be used on ships’ rigging. These days it is frequently chosen where frequent rope-handling is necessary (e.g. barrier ropes, stair bannister ropes, gymnasium climbing ropes, theatre scenery lifting and pulley ropes).

And thanks to its nautical appearance and natural shade of brown, flax hemp rope can also be used for a variety of decorative domestic purposes, both inside and outside of the home.
