Sisal Rope Technical Details

Ordering the right length

Sisal will shrink when wet and lengthen once dry. When measuring the length you should allow for an additional 10% which should cover you.

Note: Because the diameter is measured whilst the rope is under tension during its manufacture, its diameter may be slightly larger than stated.
