Description

Everlasto polyhemp (hempex) rope 28mm

Achieve the timeless look of natural hemp with the added strength and weather-resistance of advanced synthetic rope. This premium 28mm polyhemp rope delivers the warm, rustic appearance of traditional hemp rope while benefitting from the superior durability of polypropylene fibres.

Whether you’re upgrading your garden design, creating a decking balustrade, installing handrails, or crafting decorative outdoor features, polyhemp provides a strong, attractive, and low-maintenance solution.

Natural look, modern engineering

With its light-brown tone and textured finish, this synthetic hemp rope replicates the classic charm of natural fibre ropes. However, unlike traditional hemp, polyhemp won’t shrink, rot, or degrade when exposed to moisture. Its robust three-strand construction ensures consistent performance and reliable load-bearing strength.

This makes it ideal for:

  • Garden borders and edging
  • Decking rope balustrades
  • Outdoor handrails
  • Landscaping and architectural features
  • Mooring lines and marine use
  • Shop displays, signage, and interior decor

The 28mm diameter offers a visually substantial rope with dependable performance for decorative and practical use.

Durable, lightweight & easy to handle

Made from premium polypropylene, this polyhemp rope combines excellent tensile strength with low weight, making it easier to install and manoeuvre than natural alternatives. Its soft, smooth finish is comfortable to grip, knot, and splice, and its flexibility makes it suitable for both professional and DIY applications.

With an approximate breaking strain of x kg, this rope is designed to handle demanding use while retaining its shape and structure.

Weatherproof & low maintenance

Designed for British weather, Everlasto polyhemp rope is:

  • UV-stabilised to prevent fading
  • Rot-proof and resistant to mildew
  • Moisture-resistant, even in damp conditions
  • Colour-stable for outdoor and marine environments

This makes it the ideal alternative to natural ropes, which can shrink, weaken, or deteriorate over time.

As a respected British rope manufacturer, Everlasto products are synonymous with craftsmanship, quality, and long-lasting reliability.

Product FAQs

What is polyhemp rope?

Polyhemp is a high-quality synthetic rope designed to look like natural hemp while offering superior weather resistance, strength, and low maintenance. It’s widely used for decking, garden features, and decorative applications.

What is hempex rope?

What is synthetic rope made of?

Most synthetic ropes, including synthetic hemp rope, are made from engineered fibres such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester. Polyhemp specifically uses UV-stabilised polypropylene for durability and weather resistance.

How to tie a knot in synthetic rope?

Synthetic ropes hold knots well and can be tied the same way as natural ropes. Popular knots include the bowline, figure-eight, clove hitch, and reef knot. For a clean finish, splicing is also an excellent option for polyhemp.

How to cut synthetic rope?

For a clean cut, use a hot knife to slice and seal the ends simultaneously. If using a standard knife, wrap tape around the cutting point first to prevent fraying.
