Description

Our Promanila rope (also known as unmanila rope) is a beautiful, synthetic, alternative to the natural plant fiber, Manila rope, that has traditionally been used in nautical decor. Our Promanila is very high-quality, and is manufactured as a 'danline rope' which gives it all it's great qualities -- including: extra UV inhibtors and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

If you've ever seen Promanila rope that has faded and splintered, that is due to UV degradation, and Promanila rope that is not made with a danline construction is only 'tan polypropylene' and it will degrade very quickly in the sun and show signs of splintering pretty early-on. When choosing Promanila rope, look for one that is constructed as a danline rope for the longest-lasting product.

Additionally, if your rope will be exposed to full-sun most of the time, we recommend an upgrade to Twisted Polyester Rope, which resists UV even better, and will last significantly longer for your investment into your outdoor rope project. We have a unique color of Twisted Polyester (Blonde) that we have specially manufactured for our customers who want the longest-lasting rope with the closest color to the tan of Promanila. Our Blonde Twisted Polyester is slightly lighter in color than our Promanila and is the best alternative for use in a full-sun environment. Twisted Polyester is the best outdoor rope for regions similar to Florida, and other places with lots of sun.

This premium grade, UV resistant rope is also known as synthetic Manila rope, Un Manila rope, Pro Manila rope, Poly Manila rope, Tan Pro, Poly Tan, and Un-Manila. Although it does last longer than natural Manila, it does eventually break down in the sunlight.

If you love the look of natural Manila rope but you don’t like some of the disadvantages, and your rope will not be exposed to full-sun most of the time, Promanila rope is for you! 

Some of the advantages of Promanila compared to natural Manila are that it feels smoother and does not mildew, rot, shed, fade, shrink or harden. Our premium Promanila rope has excellent resistance to most chemicals, marine growth and petroleum products. It lasts up to three times longer than Manila and maintains its coloring for longer. The tensile strength of Promanila is nearly 50% stronger than natural Manila rope even though it is lighter and floats on water.Although Promanila rope is better in almost every way, and serves as a replacement for the same applications, there is just something special about natural fiber Manila rope, and if you prefer it, we have all sizes and lengths in stock.
