natural fibre

[elicokiz]

does anyone still use manila or sisal ropes?

for what purpose are you referring? Natural fibre ropes are still used for a variety of things, popular for their aesthetics only, but I cant imagine many, if any using them for load bearing properties these days, not with the strength and safety leap with synthetics

Not used maniller rope for years, used to splice an eye on each end and use it as tool strops.

sorry guys my original post was rather vauge? Im Just going through a huge selection of ropes in our store and remember using sisal and manila for rigging many years ago - wondered if they where still any use as they have been stored in their original packaging and look like new? possibly 100meters of 15mm dia

I use sisal rope to make rope latches to go with my gates and fencing. Are you selling?

Hi Craker

The majority of the rope is manila - I could certainly ask my boss if he would consider it after all if there are better modern alternatives it would be better to be proactive?
