About Decking and Barrier Ropes

Decking rope is a great way to add a new look to your garden. This type of rope comes in a variety of materials and colours, manila and sisal ropes are a natural product and are very popular. There are also man-made polyester rope available in red, burgundy and blue. These can add wow factor to your garden. You could even use a combination of coloured, man-made rope and natural rope for a really individual look.

For the actual decking area, these types of rope can be used instead of, or to replace the spindles and hand rails, offering a cheaper solution with a modern feel, and no treatments/varnishes and the like are necessary. They could possibly be used both vertically and horizontally; the latter is usually the best. They can be draped/swaged or pulled tight or a combination of the two.

Decking rope & Barrier Ropes

The barrier ropes that we are able to supply can also be used as decking rope to provide an up to date look to your garden, they are available in three colours, red, blue and burgundy and are 24mm in diameter. The coloured barrier / decking ropes are 3 strand polyester, they have very little stretch and are resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals.

Barrier ropes are often used for crowd control. But in addition for a lot of other applications, for instance stair banisters, or as opposed to stair spindles. In the garden or home, or for a decorative contemporary look, its tasks are endless. They are colourful, soft to the touch and easy to handle.

Rope Services Direct also supply the end attachments to suit your purpose, available in polished brass or chrome finishes.

There are rope hooks which attach to the rope directly. These are then usually hooked into an eye fixing plate which is screwed to its desired location. Using this method allows easy removal of the rope at any time, for a more permanent fixture we have end sockets. These are screwed to the required fixture, then the rope is fixed directly into the socket.

We also supply rope through brackets which are useful for swaging the rope. Or just to pass the rope through tightly as an anchor point, as in stair rails, etc. These ropes can also be knotted at the end after passing through an anchor point, for a more unusual look.
