Our authentic, natural Sisal Rope offers a rugged, coarse texture and pale sandy colour. It's perfect for adding rustic charm to your garden. Made from 100% natural sisal fibres, it's biodegradable, UV-resistant, and performs well in dry outdoor conditions.
Natural sisal can shrink slightly when wet and expand on drying. We recommend ordering 10% extra to allow for this natural movement. Treat annually with decking oil to prolong lifespan and maintain its rustic appearance.
Available in custom lengths or full coils (up to 220 m), with fast UK delivery. Biodegradable and knot-friendly, this rope is ideal for decking, fencing, craft projects, handrails, plant support and more.
Sisal rope is made from the long, stiff fibres of the agave sisalana plant. It’s 100% natural and biodegradable, with a coarse texture and a pale straw colour. Tough, traditional, and full of grip, it’s been used for generations in farming, gardening, and craftwork.
Is sisal rope good for outdoor use?
Yes! Sisal rope performs well outdoors, in both the short and medium term. It’s naturally strong and UV-resistant, but like all untreated natural fibres, it can break down over time if exposed to constant damp. For longer-lasting results, a light coating of oil can help protect the fibres from the elements.
What’s the difference between sisal and jute rope?
Sisal rope is firmer, rougher, and more durable than jute. It has better resistance to abrasion and moisture, which makes it a better option for heavy-duty use or outdoor settings. Jute, on the other hand, is softer and more flexible, better suited for decorative projects and crafting.
What can sisal rope be used for?
Sisal is one of the most versatile natural ropes around. It’s commonly used for garden borders, handrails, plant support, decking barriers, cat scratching posts, and anywhere a secure hold is needed.
Is sisal rope eco-friendly?
Yes! Sisal rope is a natural plant-based product with no plastic core or synthetic additives. It breaks down over time, without polluting soil or water. This makes it a sustainable option for eco-conscious projects around the home, garden or commercial setting.
