Short description: Rope made from natural fibers
Three strand natural fiber rope
A natural rope is a rope that is made from natural fibers.[1] These fibers are obtained from organic material (such as materials produced by plants).[2] Natural ropes suffer from many problems including susceptibility to rotting, degradation, mildew[1] and wear out very quickly.[3]
Materials
Cotton, sisal, manila, coir, and papyrus are materials that can be used to create a natural rope.[3]
Disadvantages compared to synthetic ropes
Natural ropes suffer from many problems when compared to synthetic ropes. Natural ropes have a susceptibility to rot, degrade, and mildew.[1] Natural ropes also wear out very quickly[3] and lose much of their strength when placed in water.[4]
