Rope

Polypropylene and Multi Function Rope are both versatile and lightweight, but hardwearing.  The Polypropylene can be used for tying down tarpaulins or for washing lines.  In more commercial environments it is often used for lorry ties or as a barrier rope. It is perhaps most regularly seen in swimming pools for lane demarcation or on floating apparatus due to its additional characteristic of being a rope that floats.

Multi Function rope is softer and more flexible than the Polypropylene and, being ideal for knotting, is most suitable for lightweight domestic purposes.  

Both come coiled on formers allowing you to cut off exactly what you need and for compact, easy storage.
