Manila Rope Technical Details
Ordering the right amount of rope
As a natural fibre rope, Manila will shrink when wet and lengthen once dry. When calculating the length you need, factor in an additional 10% to your order.
Note: The diameter of the rope is measured during manufacture whilst the rope is under tension. Natural ropes may therefore have a slightly larger diameter than stated.
