Description
Wire Center Rope is a commercial grade flagpole halyard: a galvanized aircraft cable core inside a tightly braided 100% polyester jacket. The steel center gives it almost no stretch or creep, and the polyester jacket resists rubbing, sun, rot, mildew and most chemicals. The wire center also makes it tamper resistant, which helps prevent theft and vandalism of your flag. Compared with our Solid Braid Polyester, it's firmer and stretches less, while solid braid polyester is the pick for a flexible rope that holds knots well.
- Comes in 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 in, the three standard flag rope sizes
- Firm and stiff from the steel core, so it isn't made for tying knots
- For a flagpole, order double the pole's height, plus a few feet
