Question: Can I hang my manila rope outside?

Answer:

We do not recommend or condone hanging a manila rope outside unless you take it down after each use and store it in a safe place. Neither the climbing rope material or the hanging mechanism are designed for outside usage. When exposed to water, manila not only tends to rot from the inside out but will also develop "rope splinters" which are very uncomfortable.

Fortunately we do have synthetic polyplus ropes specifically designed to handle outdoor usage and will dramatically enhance your outdoor rope climbing experience. Please click on the picture below to find our more information on polyplus outdoor climbing ropes:
