Rope and netting businesses supply materials used for securing, lifting, screening, enclosing and protecting goods or areas. Ropes are commonly made from natural fibres or synthetic materials such as polypropylene, polyester and nylon, with different constructions and thicknesses suited to particular loads and conditions. Netting may be supplied in knotted or knotless form, in various mesh sizes and materials, for uses including agriculture, construction, transport, sports and safety. Customers can typically expect a choice of rope, cordage, twine and netting, alongside related items such as webbing, straps, fittings and fastening hardware. Some suppliers cut materials to length or provide made-to-measure netting and rope assemblies. Services may include splicing rope ends, adding loops or fittings, and advising on material, mesh and construction requirements.
