Everlasto Synthetic Polyhemp/Hempex Decking Rope - 18mm

Polyhemp/Hempex rope is a synthetic material designed to look and feel like natural hemp, but it is typically made from polypropylene or similar plastic fibers.

No, this rope is intended for decorative, garden, and general-purpose use. It is not designed or certified for climbing, safety lines, or supporting human weight in critical applications.

It offers superior resistance to rot, mildew, and UV degradation compared to natural hemp, and it generally retains its strength when wet. However, the feel and flexibility might differ slightly.

Yes, the rope can be cut to your desired length. Ensure you properly seal the cut ends to prevent fraying.

The product information states a total weight of 8.377565956 pounds. Specific weight per unit length would depend on the chosen length and is not provided, but it is a dense rope.

While the material is generally safe, always supervise children and pets around ropes to prevent entanglement or misuse. Ensure the rope is securely fastened and not accessible in a way that could pose a hazard.

The specific breaking strain or working load limit is not provided in the product description. It is recommended for general-purpose use and not for applications requiring precise load ratings.

This is typical for new Polyhemp ropes. Flexing the rope repeatedly or using it in its intended application will help to soften it over time. Exposure to moisture can also increase flexibility.

Ensure the ends are properly sealed or whipped. Use strong tape, heat (carefully, as synthetic materials can melt), or specialized rope whipping to prevent unravelling.

While resistant, prolonged extreme UV exposure can eventually cause some fading. Ensure the rope is clean by washing with mild soap and water. This can sometimes restore some of its original luster.

Polyhemp has a texture designed to mimic natural hemp, which can be somewhat coarse. This roughness also aids in grip. Regular use will naturally smooth the fibers slightly.
