SOLD BY THE METRE - A QUANTITY OF 1 = 1 METRE.We love to use our 28mm hemp rope for a whole range of applications; it’s perfect for use as traditional sailing rope, as garden decking rope, for treehouses, construction rope, or rope swings and ladders and so so much more Don’t just take our word for it though Hemp has been the rope material of choice for generations, with civilisations as far back as 8-10,000 BC (In China) showing evidence of hemp rope use. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings and Royal Navy have all relied on the strength and durability of hemp as a rope material, and we think it’s still the stand-out choice today for anyone looking for a high-quality, long-lasting natural rope.It’s an environmentally-conscious choice too Our rope is made in the EU from the highest quality organic farming methods and is naturally biodegradable. It demands less water than alternative natural materials and requires absolutely no pesticide, herbicide or chemical fertilisers in its production, unlike cotton which accounts for ¼ of global agricultural chemicals. Synthetic ropes have the additional problem of releasing microparticles into the environment which can remain for hundreds of years, but that's not an issue with hemp As if that wasn’t enough, hemp is a natural carbon sink, meaning that it is brilliant at capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and trapping it, and is able to grow in soil where other crops can’t, whilst leaving the earth better and more fertile than the day it was planted.Suggested Uses:• Garden Decking Rope• Traditional Sailing Rope• Canal Boats• Nautical Theming• Hanging Shelves• Adventure Playground Equipment• Children's Play Areas / Jungle Gyms• Rope Swings• Ropes Courses• Treehouses• Rope Ladders• Rope Bridges• Rope Nets• Rope Fences• Edging and Framing• Rope Baskets• General Arts and Crafts• Natural Pet Toys• Dog Chew Toys• Equestrian - Horse/Pony Lead Ropes, Tack Ropes, and Halters• Tow Rope• Tug of War Rope• Gym Climbing and Fitness Rope• Construction Rope• Curtain Tiebacks• Film and Theatre Set Ropes...and whatever your imagination can come up with Let us know what you plan on using your hemp rope for.Features:• Diameter: 28mm• Circumference: 88mm• Construction: 4 strand, twisted• Breaking Strength (maximum load): 5478lb / 2484kg• Weight (per metre): 488g• Origin: Europe• All-Natural: Yes• Core: No• Buoyancy: Floats• Abrasion Resistance: Excellent• Tensile Strength: Excellent• Knot Retention: Excellent• Biodegradable: YesStorageStore in a cool dry place.AromaPlease note, hemp rope can have a strong and distinct natural aroma when it first arrives. Some have described it as similar to hay or flour sack. Although this aroma does almost disappear after a few months of use, a certain unique smell can remain detectable for the lifespan of the rope. The smell only gets more pleasant over time, while also becoming weaker. After a while the less pleasant notes fade away and you will be left with a sweet and natural hay-like aroma from your hemp rope.
