Made from the Abaca plant, Manila rope largely replaced hemp 200 years ago. Being 20% stronger, and much more economical than hemp, manila rope captures the imagination of people today as being quintessentially nautical and industrial. Widely used for both practical purposes and aesthetic, manila is a popular choice for everything from landscaping to industrial tool restoration. 

While its absorbent properties cause it to rot faster around water than synthetic fibers, this same quality makes it a desired rope for applications where a good grip is important, as it absorbs perspiration in much the same was as chalk for rock climbers. Manila remains a popular choice for nautical use due to its strength, UV resistance and lack of stretch. 

** By the Foot and 100 feet options come coiled in a plastic bag. 600ft options for 1/4" and 1/2" diameters come coiled in a box. 600 feet and longer options come on a spool except for 1/4" & 1/2" diameters (original spool lengths may be larger than the length option chosen leaving the spool not completely full). For orders of 600ft, please call 1-833-525-ROPE(7673) to ensure that your order lengths are fulfilled to your request. Images shown might not be completely accurate with spool fulfillment.
