-
Marine and dockside applications

Industrial access points
-
Recreational climbing structures

Fitness and obstacle courses

Specialty and custom installations
Each ladder is built to order, allowing customers to choose the exact style, length, and installation configuration needed.
Why Choose Poly Dacron Rope?
Poly dacron rope is one of the most versatile rope materials available and is the most commonly selected option for rope ladders.
Poly dacron rope consists of polypropylene strands covered by polyester fibers, which provide enhanced protection against ultraviolet exposure while maintaining flexibility and strength.
Benefits of Poly Dacron Rope
-
Excellent UV resistance
-
Low stretch under load
-
High durability
-
Lightweight compared to many alternatives
-
Easier handling than many synthetic or natural ropes
-
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
Because of these properties, poly dacron rope ladders maintain their shape and performance over time, even in exposed environments.
18" Rung Spacing Explained
The 18-inch rung spacing option is ideal for applications where wider spacing between steps is preferred. This spacing is commonly selected for:
-
Marine ladders
-
Industrial access ladders
-
Taller ladder installations
-
Situations where fewer rungs are desired
Wider rung spacing can reduce overall ladder weight and is often better suited for adult users or access-based climbing rather than close-step recreational climbing.
Wooden Rungs & Ladder Construction
All poly dacron rope ladders are built using 1-1/4" × 12" poplar wood rungs. Poplar is selected for its balance of strength, durability, and consistent quality.
Each rung is:
-
Precisely spaced at 18 inches
-
Lashed into place using waxed cord
-
Secured to prevent rotation or movement during use
This traditional lashing method provides both strength and a small amount of flexibility, improving comfort and extending the life of the ladder.

We offer five rope ladder styles in poly dacron rope with 18" rung spacing. Each style is designed for specific installation and use requirements.

Maintained rope strength
