Twisted Manila Rope

Twisted Manila Rope

  • Made from natural fibers, manila rope has been used for centuries
  • Ties knots easily and holds knots well
  • Carries no static electricity and is used frequently on chemical and gasoline tanker vessels
  • Surface of the rope is somewhat rough (not slick or slippery) Very popular for tug of war games and exercise climbing rope
  • Very little stretch
