Pro Manila is no ordinary tan rope. It is made from special polypropylene fibers that give it the look of a weathered natural Manila rope, but without some of the drawbacks of Manila rope.
Pro Manila rope has the following unique characteristics:
- It won't rot, it's ideal for wet environments
- Pro Manila rope will not shrink if it gets wet
- The rope does not have the rough texture of Manila
- There is no odor
- The lifespan of Pro Manila is typically longer than Manila rope
Pro Manila was designed with landscape use in mind. It's perfect if you want a great rope to use outside on decks or in other landscape applications. While it's a popular choice for outside applications, it is perfectly acceptable to use indoor as well. In fact, it's a great product for indoor use because the rope will not shed. Pro Manila rope is great for handrails and will look excellent with a tied on the ends.
If Pro Manila has a downside, it is this...because this is a polypropylene product; ultraviolet light will break it down over time. This rope is made with UV stabilizers in the polypropylene, but if this rope is given enough time out in the sun, it will get a little fuzzy.
