Description
8 Strand Promanila is a tan synthetic rope braided from 8 strands of film polypropylene, made to look like natural Manila. It feels smoother than Manila and doesn't mildew, rot, shed, shrink or harden, keeps its color, and resists most chemicals, marine growth and petroleum products. It's weather resistant inside and out, for rope railings, rope fences, post and piling wraps, and bed and porch swings. Compared with natural Manila, it lasts up to three times longer and is lighter, and it floats. Where you need the most UV resistance in an 8 strand rope, step up to 8 Strand Polyester.
