Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.

Manila Rope is usually made from Manila hemp, whereas Manila hemp is a fiber which is acquired from Abaca leaves. Abaca fiber grade is based on three main characteristics and two minor properties which, though not specifically involved in grade determination, are nevertheless necessary in order to identify the origin of a particular fiber.

Name these characteristics.










The main characteristics used as the basis for grading Philippine abaca are the strength, manner of cleaning, and color. Fiber texture and length are needed in order to identify the origin of the fiber. Texture or softness of the fiber varies with the variety of abaca plant and the district of origin. Hemp is known as the most important source of fiber. Manila rope is almost invariably made in the Philippines, not because certain companies want to cheapen out on the cost, but because this is where the fiber is grown and where the manila rope-making industry is most refined (i.e. it's called Manila rope for a reason).

They are used extensively in the manufacturing of fishing nets, rope, hawsers and many more, because Manila rope is very durable, flexible and resistant to salt water damage, allowing its use in rope, hawsers, ships lines and fishing nets. Not really used on boats for important things like it once was but it's commonly seen in a more decorative role. It is very commonly found around gardens, fencing, lines between bollards and a multitude of uses. It can be used to make handicrafts like bags, carpets, clothing, and furniture. 36 mm Manila rope is also the best choice for Tug of War ropes and Battle of the Ropes.



Manila ropes shrink when they become wet. This effect can be advantageous under certain circumstances, but if it is not a wanted feature, it should be well taken into account. Since shrinkage is more pronounced the first time the rope becomes wet, the new rope is usually immersed in water and put to dry before use so that the shrinkage is less than it would be if the rope had never been wet. A major disadvantage in this shrinkage is that many knots made with manila rope became harder and more difficult to untie when wet, thus becoming a subject of increased stress.

What is the Difference Between Manila rope, Nylon, Poly & Combo Rope?

Nylon Rope - Nylon has a very long lifespan and is the heaviest of all ropes for fitness training. Unfortunately, it is recommended for indoor use only due to nylon rope being UV sensitive and a magnet for dirt. Too much sun exposure will cause it to break down over time. Over exposure to the sun and outside elements is what makes this type of rope have that "fuzzy" look and scratchy feel to it. The rope also has a tendency to pick up a lot of dirt from whatever surface you are using it on. Nylon rope doesn't shed fibers or shrink when it gets wet like manila will. Nylon is also three times stronger than manila. Nylon doesn't absorb water or sweat like manila rope will, which leads to slipping and lose of grip once your hands begin to sweat. For this reason, nylon rope is not recommended for climbing, tug of war or other activities in which grip and slippage are important. If using this for undulation rope exercises, it is important to have a long length of rubber coated shrink wrapping on the end to maintain a good grip.

Real Manila Rope - Commonly referred to as Hemp Rope or Jute Rope, natural manila is best suited for climbing exercises and tug or war style games. Manila isn't as strong as nylon, but if you are buying rope for exercising and fitness then you won't really care if its breaking strength is 16,000 or 24,000 pounds. Manila rope has a strong smell when new, which takes awhile to wear off. The rope also "sheds" leaving behind strands of manila fibers. It is recommended that you rub down your new rope with a towel to remove as many of these fibers as possible. You can also apply chalk to the rope to help absorb the trapped moisture which will remove the smell faster. Manila rope will not last as long as Nylon, but if properly maintained and not left outside you can still expect to have your rope for years before needing to replace it. Manilla rope is very rough on the hands and will cause calluses and possibly skin tears. This is why it is recommended that you build up your tolerance to the rope and/or wear gloves when performing rope exercises.









Pro Manila Rope - Made to immitate the look and feel of real manila rope, the synthetic version is much more durable and less messy than its doppleganger. This version only weighs slightly less per foot than natural manila but is much easier to take care. The pro manila rope version contains some polypropolyene material making it sensitive to long term UV exposure.

Pure Polypropylene Rope- This manila rope is made of polypropylene, a water resistant, buoyant material (it floats). Like nylon, this rope is UV sensitive so extended exposure to the sun will cause the rope to slowly break down and become rough and fuzzy looking. Poly rope is cheaper than nylon and a more expensive than manila. It is also lighter than nylon and manila, so it may not be an ideal choice if you are looking for a high weight-to-length ratio rope fore use in battle rope training.

Combo Ropes - This type of rope is our favorite for gym workouts. It is a combination of poly rope intertwined with another material, usually nylon or polyester. These ropes typically have a softer feel with a heavier overall weight.

Rope Storage and Care - All fitness ropes, regardless of material, should be stored indoors and out of the sun. In the case of manila rope, if the rope has gotten wet, try and let it dry in the sun before storing it. Otherwise the rope will develop a mildew smell which isn't pleasant.

How to Make a Manila Rope ? Cheap Manila Rope ))

Very simple )

Decide how long you want your rope. Cut three even lengths of thread from the spool of Manila hemp. Use a sharp utility knife to cut the hemp as evenly as possible. Make sure the lengths are double the length of the rope you want.

Lay all three strands next to each other evenly and tie one end of the three threads together with another strand from the Manila hemp. This will form the base of the rope.
