Poly Dacron Rope Ladders – 12" Rung Spacing
Why Choose Black Nylon Rope for Rope Ladders?
Nylon rope is often selected when strength and performance are the top priorities. Compared to other rope materials, nylon provides exceptional durability under repeated stress and dynamic loading.
Key Benefits of Black Nylon Rope
-
Very high tensile strength
-
Excellent abrasion resistance
-
Strong UV and chemical resistance
-
More stretch than poly dacron, allowing shock absorption
-
Smooth texture that is easier on the hands
-
Long service life in demanding environments
The added elasticity of nylon helps absorb impact forces, which can reduce stress on anchor points and improve overall ladder performance.
18" Rung Spacing Explained
The 18-inch rung spacing option is commonly chosen for access-oriented ladders rather than close-step climbing. Wider spacing reduces the number of rungs, lowers overall ladder weight, and is often preferred for adult use.
18" rung spacing is ideal for:
-
Marine and dockside ladders
-
Industrial access ladders
-
Taller ladder installations
-
Situations where wider steps are acceptable
This spacing provides efficient climbing while maintaining comfort and stability.

Hand-Spliced Craftsmanship
All black nylon rope ladders are hand spliced using professional splicing techniques. Hand splicing is significantly stronger than knot-based construction and ensures the ladder maintains its integrity under repeated use.
Benefits of hand-spliced ladders include:
-
Splices that will not pull out
-
Maintained rope strength
-
Clean, professional appearance
-
Long service life
Joint splices are commonly used at the bottom of several ladder styles to reinforce high-stress areas.

Wooden Rungs & Ladder Construction
All black nylon rope ladders are built using 1-1/4" × 12" poplar wood rungs. Poplar is selected for its strength, consistency, and resistance to splitting.
Each rung is:
-
Spaced precisely at 18 inches
-
Lashed into place with waxed cord
-
Secured to prevent twisting or shifting
This traditional lashing method ensures durability while allowing a small amount of flexibility, which improves comfort during use.
