Buy ropes, lines, and cordage for marine, construction and DIY

Rope and cordage specialists, with in-house manufacturing and splicing

At ropestore.com, you can buy ropes, lines, cordage, and twines for everything from marine environments to construction projects and recreational use. We have divided our assortment into three main categories based on rope construction and application:

• Twisted ropes: Three-strand ropes with built-in elasticity that are easy to grip and splice. This is a standard choice when buying ropes and lines for mooring or anchoring, but also when you need a strong and thick rope for buoys or deck railings.
• Braided ropes: Flexible lines that don't kink or twist. They often feature a core that provides low stretch and high breaking strength. Commonly used where the line needs to run smoothly through blocks (such as sheets and halyards on boats) or as lifting and pulling lines in industry and construction.
• Twines and cords: Thinner lines for detailed work. Everything from durable mason's lines and blind cords to natural fiber twines for interior design and gardening.

How to choose the right rope

Consider these three factors to find the right line for your project:

• Material: Polyester is UV-resistant and sinks, making it the standard for marine use. Polypropylene is lightweight and floats, which is ideal for construction and towing. Natural fibers like hemp give a classic look to deck railings.

• Thickness (Diameter): Thicker ropes (16mm and up) are easier to grip by hand and withstand heavy mooring. Always make sure the diameter fits your existing hardware, such as cleats, blocks, and shackles.

• Breaking strength: The rope's breaking strength must exceed your actual working load with a wide margin. For heavy lifting or secure anchoring, look for high-strength, low-stretch materials like HMPE/Dyneema or core-braided synthetics.
