Product Information
Full details
The Everlasto Synthetic Polyhemp Decking Rope is an ideal solution for homeowners and landscapers who desire the classic, rustic aesthetic of natural hemp without the high maintenance or tendency to rot. Perfect for garden decking, borders, and general outdoor utility, this high-quality synthetic cordage provides superior durability against the elements. While it mimics the look of traditional rope perfectly, users should note that the synthetic material will not stretch or 'soften' in the same way natural fibers do over time.

FAQs
Is this rope safe for playground equipment?
While durable, this rope is primarily designed for decking and garden applications. Please ensure it meets local safety standards for specific structural load requirements.
Can I leave this rope out all winter?
Yes, the Polyhemp material is rot-resistant and designed for year-round outdoor exposure.
Does the color fade over time?
The rope is UV stabilized, which significantly reduces color fading, though some slight change may occur over many years of intense direct sun.
How do I secure this rope to wooden posts?
Use heavy-duty stainless steel rope eyes or hooks specifically designed for the diameter of the rope you have purchased.
Is the rope biodegradable?
No, this is a synthetic product designed for longevity and does not break down like organic natural hemp.
Troubleshooting
Ends of the rope are fraying after cutting
Use a sharp knife to cut the rope and immediately heat-seal the end with a lighter or use heat-shrink tubing to bind the strands.
Rope feels stiff in cold temperatures
This is a characteristic of synthetic fibers. The rope will return to its standard flexibility once ambient temperatures rise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Everlasto Polyhemp rope involves standard knotting and fixing techniques suitable for heavy-duty cordage. When cutting the rope to size, it is essential to heat-seal or tape the ends immediately to prevent the synthetic strands from unravelling. For decking applications, ensure you use rust-proof stainless steel fittings to prevent staining. To clean, simply wash the rope with mild soapy water and a hose; the material is hydrophobic, meaning it will dry quickly and will not soak up water, which helps in preventing heavy water-logged sagging.
