Manila rope, sometimes referred to as “hemp rope”, is manufactured from the strongest natural fibers available of the abaca plant grown in the Philippines.
 
Manila rope provides high strength with very good resistance to abrasion and low stretch, browner in color and naturally oiled.
 
This makes it much more resistant to moisture and thus ideal for outdoor use. Historically, manila rope was used as a ship’s rope. The oil however gives the rope a characteristic odor, which makes it less suitable for indoor use. Manila is stiff and rough and therefore less appropriate when frequent contact with hands take place.
 
It is ideal as a natural barrier for gardens and ponds or as an ornamental cord outdoor. Manila is stronger than sisal and even a bit rougher.
