Pro Manila has the following unique characteristics:
- It won't rot,
- It's ideal for wet environments. Pro Manila will not shrink if it gets wet
- The Pro Manila does not have the rough texture of Natural Manila Rope
- There is no odour
- The lifespan of Pro Manila is typically longer than that of Natural Manila Rope.
ProManila was designed with landscape use in mind. It's perfect for use outside on decks or in other landscape applications. While it's a popular choice for outside applications, it is perfectly acceptable to use it indoors as well.
In fact, it's a great product for indoor use because the rope will not shed fibres. ProManila is great for handrails and will look excellent with a Manrope Knot tied on the ends.
Larger diameter Pro Manila is excellent for:
- Hanging beds
- Backyard playsets
- Treehouses
- Landscape use
- Deck and porch railings
- Stair handrails
If ProManila has a downside, it is because this is a polypropylene product; ultraviolet light will break it down over time. This rope is made with UV stabilizers in polypropylene to give it a long life.
