Product Information
Full details
The Everlasto Polyhemp Decking Rope is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a traditional aesthetic for garden projects, handrails, and play equipment without the maintenance challenges of natural fibers. Crafted from high-quality three-strand twisted polypropylene, it mimics the classic look of hemp while providing superior resistance to rot and shrinking, though users should note that synthetic fibers can feel slightly different under tension than organic materials.

FAQs
Will this rope rot like natural hemp?
No, this is a synthetic polyhemp, meaning it is specifically designed to resist rot, mold, and moisture damage.
Does the rope shrink in the rain?
Unlike natural fiber ropes, Everlasto Polyhemp does not shrink or expand when wet, maintaining a consistent length.
Is it safe for children's play equipment?
Yes, it is soft on the hands and free from the coarse splinters often found in natural hemp.
Can I use this for heavy-duty lifting?
This rope is primarily intended for landscaping, decorative, and light utility purposes; it is not rated for heavy-duty industrial lifting.
How should I finish the ends?
The ends should be whipped or sealed with heat to prevent the twisted strands from unravelling.
Who manufactures this rope?
It is manufactured by James Lever in Bolton, a company with rope-making heritage dating back to 1856.
Troubleshooting
Rope ends beginning to fray
Apply a small amount of heat to the ends of the polypropylene strands to fuse them together, or apply a professional whipping twine finish.
Surface dirt accumulation
Wash the rope with a gentle spray of water and a soft brush; avoid high-pressure washing which may abrade the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Polyhemp rope is straightforward, requiring standard rope fixtures or clamps depending on your specific project. For decking handrails, ensure you use rust-resistant hardware to match the longevity of the rope itself. To maintain the rope, simply hose it down with clean water if it becomes covered in dirt or garden debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they are unnecessary for this durable material. When cutting the rope, apply heat to the ends or use appropriate whipping techniques to prevent the three-strand structure from fraying.
