FAQs
Is this rope safe for children to use?
While durable, the 32mm diameter is optimized for adult grip. Children may find the weight and thickness difficult to handle effectively.
Can I leave the rope outside permanently?
No. While it is weather-resistant, continuous exposure to rain and UV light will degrade the natural fibers and significantly shorten its lifespan.
Does the rope stretch during a pull?
Manilla rope has very little elasticity compared to nylon, which is a benefit for tug of war as it provides an immediate, firm response to force.
How should I clean mud off the rope?
Allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a stiff broom or brush. Avoid soaking the rope in water.
Is the 30m length suitable for large groups?
Yes, 30 meters is long enough to allow for 10 to 12 adults on each side with plenty of slack for the center marker.
Troubleshooting
Rope feels stiff or brittle after long-term storage
Natural fibers may stiffen; store in a humidity-controlled environment and consider a gentle stretch before high-intensity use.
Loose fibers appearing on the surface
This is common with new manilla rope. Trim any dangling loose strands with scissors; do not pull them as this can unravel the twist.
Excessive dirt buildup
Dry brush the rope thoroughly; do not use heavy detergents or pressure washers as they may weaken the natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Tug of War Manilla Senior Rope, always inspect the rope for frayed sections before each use. Setup involves laying the rope out on a flat, even surface, ideally on grass or a designated athletic mat. After use, clear all dirt and mud from the surface of the rope using a stiff-bristled brush. Crucially, the rope must be completely air-dried in a shaded, well-ventilated area before being coiled for storage. Never store the rope while damp, as natural manilla fiber will absorb moisture, leading to rot and compromised strength. Store in a cool, dry location off the ground to prevent pests and moisture damage.
