Manila Rope | Hemp

This 3 strand twisted rope is great for arts and crafts, pet toys, scratching posts for cats, decorations and tying or wrapping. Sisal rope is an excellent knotting rope with low stretch and is generally safe for pets.
Sisal is a natural plant fiber extracted from the leaves of sisal plant (Agave sisalana) and imported from Brazil. Sisal is a moderate strength rope with excellent grip in the hands. Our three strand sisal is a great choice for indoor use, but not for outdoor projects since it will deteriorate quickly from exposure to the elements.
Our sisal rope is generally safe for pets. Please do your own research for the particular species for which you are considering buying the rope.
If you need a smaller diameter than this 3 strand rope, consider our Sisal Twine as another option.
Some people confuse sisal rope with Manila rope. Sisal is lighter, softer and has a lower tensile strength than Manila and is less expensive. Manila is stronger and longer lasting than sisal.
