The swing comes with a choice of 10 meters (5 on each side) of 22mm Manila Rope which has a breaking strain of over 5 tonnes, or 10 meters (5 on each side) of 20mm synthetic hemp rope which is softer. Both spliced above the seat. This will leave approximately 4 meters of rope on each side for hanging. Extra rope is available which is priced at £5 per meter for each side.

THE ROPE:
Manila Rope is a natural 3 strand Manila rope made from fibre obtained from the leaves of the Abaca tree grown in the Philippines. Manila rope holds knots well is tough and because of natural oils, reasonably water-resistant, being a traditional natural rope it looks good in the garden and can be used for swings and play equipment. Because this rope is made from natural fibres, it is likely the rope will absorb some moisture if used outside. It will shrink when wet and lengthen when it's dry. Please allow for this when fixing your swing in place.
Synthetic Hemp Rope
Synthetic Hemp rope has all the appearance of natural hemp rope with the advantages of using synthetic material. Synthetic Hemp rope:
- Is made from spun polypropylene
- UV resistant
- Won’t swell or shrink when wet
- Floats in water
- Is easier on the skin than natural hemp
All these qualities make Synthetic Hemp rope ideal outdoors, ideal for handrails, on ships and boats, in construction, and in children’s play areas - such as rope swings, ladders and climbing ropes. The surface is soft to touch but easy to grip, and it's weatherproof so can be left out all year round.
Timber will always want to move and it’s going to expand and shrink as the humidity changes outside. Please rest assured it won’t change drastically but small hairline splits may occur over time, this is completely normal and is regarded as part of the timbers natural beauty.
Product maintenance is very important so we recommend a pressure wash or a sand once a year to remove any moss or unwanted mess on the timber. Once dry then apply Osmo Oil or a similar oil treatment once or twice a year to help slow down decay and help with any warping or cracking.
