Polypropylene Braided Rope Rot-Proof Garden Marine Camping Cord 3-20mm
General-purpose utility rope only - not certified climbing, rigging or fall-arrest equipment; always choose a diameter with a breaking load comfortably above your actual working load (see specification table).
This braided polypropylene rope is built for jobs that mix strength with constant exposure to damp and weather. Unlike twisted rope, the braided construction stays round and flexible, resists kinking, and won't unravel at a cut end - while polypropylene itself floats, shrugs off most chemicals and UV, and never rots or mildews even left wet in a shed all winter. It's supplied by the metre across 11 diameters (3-20mm), each colour-coded with its own tracer thread so you can identify the right rope at a glance, from light garden twine right up to a serious towing or lashing line. That range makes it equally at home mooring a boat, securing a trailer load, rigging a campsite, or tying back plants in the garden. Every diameter's breaking load is listed in the specification table below, taken from the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, so you can match strength to the job rather than guessing. As with any general-purpose rope, it isn't rated for overhead lifting over people or as climbing/fall-arrest equipment - choose a diameter with load comfortably in excess of your actual requirement, and retire any length showing fraying or wear.

Control
Braided, Not Twisted
Stays round and flexible, resists kinking, and won't unravel at a cut end - unlike traditional twisted rope.
Fully Rot-Proof
Polypropylene never absorbs moisture, so it won't rot, mildew or weaken even left wet or stored in a damp shed.
11 Colour-Coded Diameters
3mm to 20mm, each with its own tracer thread, sold by the metre so you buy exactly the length you need.
Floats & Weather-Resistant
Floats on water unlike natural-fibre rope, and shrugs off most chemicals, UV and general outdoor weathering.
