Polyethylene Rope Orange 7mm x 20m – Floating Twisted Poly Rope

Bright Orange Floating Polyethylene Rope, 7mm x 20m

This is a 7mm twisted polyethylene rope in a 20 metre length, in bright, high-visibility orange. Polyethylene rope floats on water and stands out clearly against it, which makes this a popular choice for water safety and marker lines, while its all-round toughness makes it just as handy for general jobs around the home, yard, farm and boat. It is a practical, low-cost rope to keep on hand for whatever comes up.

Floats and Stays Visible in Water

Because polyethylene is lighter than water, this rope floats rather than sinking, so it stays on the surface where it can be seen and grabbed. Combined with the bright orange colour, that high visibility makes it well suited to water-safety uses such as floating safety lines and marking off areas in the water. The same qualities make it easy to spot on land too, which is useful for hazard lines and boundary marking.

Tough, Lightweight and Weather-Resistant

Polyethylene rope is lightweight and easy to handle, and it holds up well outdoors. It does not absorb water and resists rot, mildew and moisture, so it copes with wet conditions and general outdoor exposure without breaking down like natural-fibre rope would. The three-strand twisted construction is strong for everyday use and easy to splice or knot.

Handy for All Sorts of Jobs

Beyond water safety, this is a genuinely versatile rope. Use it for tying down loads and covers, marking out areas, general lashing and securing, camping, farm and garden jobs, and light multipurpose tasks around the property. As a general-purpose rope it is best kept to everyday securing and marking rather than critical load-bearing or lifting jobs, which call for a purpose-rated rope.
