Chains, cables & ropes

These items suit a variety of uses around the home, in the garden, workshop, on boats and for creative projects. They can be used to secure, hang, divide, organise or add a decorative touch, provided they are suitable for the intended task.

Before choosing, check the required length and thickness, as well as the weight or tension they will need to withstand. Polypropylene is lightweight and practical for many uses; polyester offers good resistance to wear; jute and cotton provide a more natural look for decoration and crafts. Always check the maximum load stated for the product and avoid safety-critical applications without certified equipment.

Store ropes and cables clean, dry and loosely coiled without tight knots. Check regularly for signs of wear, cuts or loose fibres, and replace the item whenever safety could be compromised.
