What is Natural Rope?

In its simplest form, natural rope refers to the collection of yarns sourced from plant-based sources, braided or twisted together to multiply their strength. Thanks to many useful plant materials, mankind has had access to natural rope and cordage for thousands of years.

Advantages of Natural Fiber Rope and Cord

In today's world, we have more options than just natural rope and cord. For instance, synthetic fiber ropes can outperform natural rope for various uses and environments, so why would you choose natural fiber rope when you can have something stronger? We’re glad you asked! Here are some of the most significant advantages of natural fiber rope:

  • Affordable: Natural fiber ropes will always be in demand because they do the job and they are affordable. While some natural rope products are priced on the higher end, they are not representative of natural ropes' general affordability.
  • Flexible & Durable: While natural ropes are rarely as strong as the advanced synthetic fiber ropes that are now widely available, they are still remarkably strong. The fact is that for most applications, you don't need thousands of pounds of tensile strength and carry capacity. In most cases, a few hundred pounds of functionality is more than enough.
  • Natural: As you may be aware, many synthetic materials can be bad for your health as well as for the environment. Natural rope and cord do not pose this potential problem. Natural rope decomposes when left outside and can be used on applications meant to decompose, like in the garden or outdoors.
  • User-Friendly: Because it is natural, organic material ropes just tend to feel nicer in the hand. That could be a matter of preference, but most people who work with natural fibers tend to enjoy them more than their synthetic counterparts.
