FAQs
What is the maximum weight this rope can hold?
The rope has a maximum load capacity of 110kg.
Is this rope suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is suitable for general outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (UV radiation) can degrade the material over time. Store it in a dry, shaded place when not in use.
How should I cut the rope without it unravelling?
Use a sharp blade like scissors or a utility knife. To prevent fraying, you can carefully melt the cut end with a lighter flame to seal the fibers.
Can this rope be used for climbing or heavy lifting?
No, this rope is designed for general household and garden use and is not suitable for climbing, safety applications, or heavy-duty lifting.
What are the dimensions of the rope?
The rope has a diameter of 3mm and comes in a length of 20 meters.
What is the main advantage of the braided construction?
The braided construction provides enhanced strength, durability, and good knot-holding ability compared to simpler twisted ropes.
Troubleshooting
Rope is fraying at the cut end.
Carefully melt the cut end with a lighter flame for a few seconds to seal the fibers. Ensure the rope is cool before handling.
Knots are difficult to untie.
Polypropylene can sometimes seize when tightened. Try to loosen the knot by working the fibers before pulling it tight. If a knot is very tight, try lubricating it slightly.
Rope appears weaker than expected.
Ensure you are not exceeding the 110kg maximum load capacity. Check the rope for any signs of damage or excessive wear that might have compromised its strength.
