I'm so excited to order from you all! I've been looking for a custom bird room rope. I was pleasantly surprised to see a section of the website guiding me which products to buy based on that. Thanks!
Wow, this was eye-opening! I don't seem to react well to any agave products, so now I know why the sisal splinters bother me so much more than other people!
Question: Would it be helpful to 'retreat' my vintage Manila with mineral oil. It's very old and in good shape but I'd like to do something to help preserve it's lifespan...
I have an idea for a video I'd like to see from you. In winter when your car gets stuck in the snow, there is an alternative to tire chains often called "zip grips" or "traction belts" that you can use as a quick solution to getting unstuck or driving up a slippery hill. They're basically thick plastic zip ties that you can strap through an open air aluminum wheel (but if you have steel rims, it won't work too well) to give you enough short term traction to get unstuck. They used to be sold at Walmart but now I only see them sold on amazon in bundles of 10 or 20 zip straps and the cost is about 2 or 3 dollars per strap for the cheapest ones. I've heard that manila rope can be used for the same purpose but I've never seen it done before. Have you heard of this or ever tried it yourself? There's some videos on youtube of people using cotton rope or nylon rope to do this but not manila rope. If manila rope would be good for this, some questions would need to be answered like 1. what size rope should be used? 1/2 inch, 5/8, 3/4, etc. 2. what's a good tool for cutting the rope? 3. what's the best knot for tying each piece of rope around the tire? 4. what's a safe speed limit with manila rope strapped to your tire? but I guess another question would be is there another type of rope that would give your tire better traction or digging power than manila rope?
We have never heard of this, but it is a great idea! Manila rope would give the best grip. Probably 1/2" or 5/8" diameter would work best. Any knot would be fine since this would only be for temporary use. We would only recommend this for getting unstuck, not driving in general.
I want to make a climbing rope course for my cat using 1 1/2 inch sisal rope, but I'm concerned about splinters. Is this something to even be concerned about for cat - are their pads generally thick enough to withstand splinters on this type of rope?
The most common diameter for wrapping cat scratching posts is 3/8". People use many different sizes, depending on their specific application, but 3/8" seems to be the most common.
S.O.S. Hi guys. Really like your video here. I wanted to know, is jute rope as good as sisal for indoor cat tower and scratching pole? i'm building my cat tower at home and wanted to know if jute was good as sisal rope. Please Advise.
Am a Tanzanian, seen this means alot since we are world leading sisal farmer though we have no market. Hope you guys help us get market for it, it means alot to us.
@@RightRopeOfficial i have not done any trade on sisal, but if you guys need it i can do a research on the product price from the farmers plus find how much it will cost to ship to you.

@@RightRopeOfficial ya but as they say, the proof is in the pudding. I've never seen manila rope used for this before. if you could do a video of that and it works, I think that would make a great video. Or if you send some rope to the guy who makes videos of his slippery hill and ask him to test the manila rope theory, I'm sure he'd be glad to try it and post a video of the results from his street. If the video works out favorably, I'm sure he'd let you use the video if you want.

A very educational video. Both Phil and Jessica have helped me pick the "right rope" for my rope fence project.
Great! Thanks for your feedback.

Sisal rope is excellent for cats. They don't get splinters from the fibers.
Thanks for the quick response!
Excellent explanation, love you guys 💪
Thanks! Glad it was useful.
I'm set on Sisal for my custom cat tower, now into the weeds with what diameter. 1" or 1-1/2"? Or much smaller? Thanks for your feedback.
The most common diameter for wrapping cat scratching posts is 3/8". People use many different sizes, depending on their specific application, but 3/8" seems to be the most common.
Do you guys have hemp rope?
Thanks. A little "homespun" but very helpful. (And fun to watch, like a high school musical... ;^)
Glad you enjoyed it!

Jute is made of finer, softer, less durable fibers. We would recommend sisal over jute for cat scratching posts.
I made a knot with sisal rope then it get wet and grown in volume
But locked the knot
How could i losen this wet sisal rope knot ?
The best way is to remove as much moisture as possible, and the rope will shrink back down.
Excellent instructions!

Can you produce and export the rope?
