Question: What is the difference between outdoor and indoor climbing ropes?

Answer:

Indoor climbing Ropes: Our indoor manila climbing ropes are made of 3 strand 1-1/2" diameter pure "Grade A" manila, a natural fiber which is extremely strong and durable. The attachment fitting for the indoor rope consists of a specially designed steel eye fitting making installation to your ceiling attachment simple, safe and secure.

To prevent unraveling, the end of our indoor ropes are first "whipped" with a smaller length of cord and then fitted with a "polyboot." These manila ropes are the climbing ropes of choice for many schools, sports teams and training programs all over the country and the world as they offer a superiour workout experience in a minimum of space. Our most popular length is 15 feet but we can do any lengh you need.

Outdoor Climbing Ropes: The biggest difference between the indoor climbing ropes and outdoor climbing ropes has to to with the material they are composed of. In order to better deal with the elements, specifically moisture, our outdoor climbing ropes are composed of "poly-plus" a lightweight quality polyester dacron blend which was selected specifically for it's excellent moisture and UV ray resistance. Polyplus is both lighter and stronger than manila and has a soft feel that is very similar to cotton.

The attachment point for the outdoor ropes has a galvanized metal eye thimble to minimize friction with the rope material and hardware during use. Each outdoor clming rope comes with a "chain sling" which provides an easy instillation option. The bottom of each outdoor rope is is braided to deter un-ravelling. Outdoor ropes are available in any length with our most popular being 15 feet.
