Default Rope for garden use

Unless of course, you have a garden by the sea!

Then at least it won't cost you anything...

providing you don't mind 'looting' the beaches...

and you like your rope 'blue'...

to match the waves.

We're currently putting up some posts which will have rope swagged
between
them for the support of roses, clematis etc. We've found a wonderful
place
on Exmoor that does supplies of all sorts of rope of different materials
and
diameters and will be ordering from there. We've been sent photos of
different uses, one of which is as rope trellis against a fence and we're
going to use that against a wall because it will be easy to unhook it and
paint behind it when the time comes. It's also extremely attractive.
There
is also a photo of a fabulous 'cobweb' of rope used to roof a gazebo.
Plants are growing up the gazebo and along and through the rope roof,
dangling into it in the most entrancing way.
From time to time we see enquiries about rope on here and IMO, this is a
real 'find'.

Polyprop? :-(( Ugly

Conventional? :-(( Will rot

Leave rope out of your fancy garden themes. Let it stay where it should
be, ... at sea.
