Rope Recommendation

[William_Montgomery]

Any recommendations for where to look for a decent length of rope?

I'm looking for something around 6-8mm x 20-25m. Strong, but not to the point of a massive price tag. Just strong enough for general use. Good abrasion resistance.

Something similar to this kind of thing:


Currently looking at 'Kingfisher Ropes' and on ropesdirect.co.uk.

Anywhere else worth checking?

Thanks.

Used to get my general purpose ropes from the Yacht Chandlers.

I recently bought this to make some new guy-lines for the OZtent - it does the job

If you need it for non-human support ( IE you're not anticipating hanging off it yourself ) I would suggest you check out facebook marketplace - for whatever reason there tends to quite a bit there - Tree surgeons whom have found a nick in theirs and don't fancy taking the chance , rock climbers whom have gotten fat , H&S concerns over older rope etc.

Cheapest and fairly strong look for PA (polyamide) or as most people know it nylon, does not take sun light too well, polyester often a bit stronger and can take sun light. Leave PP (polypropene) alone, does not last long in sun and not very strong but it is CHEAP, cheap, cheap ...

Thanks chaps.

check out facebook marketplace

I really should get my act together and sign-up for that. Seems like there's a lot to be found there.

Thanks for that reference. I do get a bit lost with all the poly-this and poly-that. It will probably get a fair bit of outdoors use, so polyester seems the best bet.
