Twisted Polypropylene Rope is a very popular choice among consumers due to its low cost and ability to resist the elements. Our twisted polypropylene rope is much stronger than manila rope but not as strong as other synthetics, like nylon. Polypropylene rope can be stored wet and will not rot or mildew. Another advantage of polypropylene is that it will float in water, either fresh or salt water. Twisted Polypropylene is often a choice of utility contractor&#;s use this rope for pulling wires through conduit lines. This is a pliable rope and can be easily spliced together.

Having spare rope around is not a bad thing. It's useful for tying objects to fences, tying awkward boxes together, and tying things to vehicles. This rope was offered a reasonable price, so I decided to get it. Three hundred (328) feet 100 m) of rope is a lot of rope. It is very light weight, designed for marine uses such as mooring lines. Because it is polypropylene, it is strong, rot-proof, and resistant to moisture. It will also float on water, a useful feature for marine use. This particular version is a little, but not a lot, stiff.
I used a length of it to tie a large, floppy asparagus plant to a fence post to get it out of the garden. Polypropylene rope is supposed to tie easy (package is labelled easy-tie) and hold knots well, but this rope was a little stiff and slippery and tying knots in it was not easy. It took several attempts and types of knots. Square knots and granny knots are possible, but require a firm tugging to tighten. In fairness, it was a little thick for the purpose.
I intend to use it as a pull rope to guide small trees over as they are cut. I suspect that knots for this purpose will be easier.
This rope seems unlikely to splinter, in keeping with polypropylene rope. It does, however, fray rather quickly when cut. It is important to melt or wrap the cut ends to prevent fraying. It takes more heat than one might imagine to fully melt the end. I used a match and had to do it twice to get it fully melted. A lighter would work better. For rough use, I would firmly knot the rope if the use allowed that and then melt the end. Whipping the end would be best if you know how to do it.
