1-1/2" Poly Dacron Climbing & Swing Ropes
Standard Construction & Included Hardware
Each 1-1/2" poly dacron climbing or swing rope is professionally finished and ready for installation.
Top Hardware
Every rope includes:
-
A steel thimble spliced into the rope
-
A 1/2" pear-shaped sling link attached at the top
The steel thimble protects the rope at the attachment point and maintains rope shape under load. The pear-shaped sling link allows for quick, secure installation.
The pear link makes it simple to hang your rope using a rapid link from our hardware section.
Bottom Finish
-
Heat shrink tubing installed at the bottom of the rope
This finish prevents unraveling, provides a clean appearance, and increases durability at the rope end.
Available 1-1/2" Poly Dacron Rope Lengths & Pricing
We offer four standard lengths of 1-1/2" poly dacron climbing and swing ropes. Each rope includes identical hardware and professional finishing.
Adding Knots to Your Rope
All 1-1/2" poly dacron climbing and swing ropes are supplied without knots, allowing complete flexibility.
Tying Knots Yourself
If you plan to tie knots yourself:
-
Purchase a rope longer than your desired finished length
-
Allow approximately 16 inches of rope per knot
This ensures you maintain sufficient rope length after knotting.
