Natural Manila Rope |
Manila rope is made from a hard natural fibre. It has excellent resistance to sunlight, little stretch and good knot-holding ability. Manila rope must be stored dry to avoid mildrew, and chemicals will cause it to deteriorate. |
Nylon Rope |
White 3 Strand nylon rope. Nylon is the strongest of all ropes in common use. When stretched it has a "memory" for returning to it's orginal length. For this reason it is the best rope for absorbing shock loads, as is the case when lifting or towing. Nylon lasts 4-5 times longer than natural fibre ropes because it has good abrasion resistance & is not damaged by oil or most chemicals. Like manila, nylon has excellent resistance to ultraviolet deterioration from sunlight, referred to as "U.V. stability". |
Polyester Rope |
This high strength heavy synthetic fiber is resistant to ultraviolet deterioration giving it greater weather resistance than either nylon or Manila fiber. Due to polyesters low water absorbency, only slight strength loss is experienced when wet. Polyester does not have the stretch and elasticity of nylon. Polyester is superior to nylon with respect to cycle loading and abrasion. Good for high friction uses like marine running, rigging and stringing line. |
Hempex/Hardy Hemp/Polyhemp Rope |
Hempex/Hardy Hemp or Polyhemp as it can be known was developed to allow the use of synthetic rope in situations that demanded a traditional look and feel. It is made from polypropylene and looks and feels very much like traditional hemp rope but with none of the disadvantages. It is popular for decking and gardening projects, hand rails and is suitable for children's play equipment. |

 | Garden Swing |
Hand carved in the UK from Green oak, this beautiful wood garden swing will look amazing in anybody's garden. The green oak is chosen for it's longevity & ease of maintenance and will age beautifully if left outside, naturally silvering over time & may even cup or twist slightly, which will add to its unique character. The standard or 'uncarved' swing has a natural plain finish but we also offer a version with the phrase 'Just a Bit of Fun' carved into the facia. Available in 3 kits depending on the diameter of your bough. This swing is superbly engineered and is very straight-forward to install. All you need to do is chose a bough that is strong enough & level & between 8 feet or 2.5 metres & 15 feet or 5 metres from the ground, then loop the spliced hempex rope around it. The seat itself is supplied with 2 x 5 metre lengths of Hempex rope which is spliced & securely knotted-off under either side of the seat. You then simply thread the ends of each of these 5 metre lengths through the open loop hanging down from each of your bough loops & double it back on itself. Next, you level-up your seat & secure the lengths by tightening the heavy duty metal clamps (2 for each rope) & cut-off any excess rope and heat seal the rope ends with a lighter to seal them & to stop them from fraying. |

The Basic rules of a good anchoring system
Never overlook the importance of every element in your anchoring system : it is only by selecting top quality elements & assembling them correctly together that you obtain a perfectly reliable anchoring.
Chain Diameter must be generous & length at least 5 times the boat length (See table)
Rope Opt for polyamide/nylon, which provides good abrasion & tension resistance, with a good stretching capacity (18 to 25%) to absorb the surges that waves impact on the anchor. |
