- The strength of the rope: material, diameter, anti-UV treatment, strength of the splice
Our ropes are made in France with polypropylene textured (imitation hemp) treated anti-UV diameter Ø12mm or Ø14mm. The splices are made by hand without adding plastic parts.
- The strength of the seat: material, thickness of the board, finish
The seat is made of solid regional oak wood and consists of three slats so that water can drain when it rains. The boards are 22mm thick and are reinforced by two transverse slats of support, which allows to support several hundred kilos.
- The strength of mounting accessories (rings and adjustment frames): material, size
The mounting accessories are made of ultra-resistant galvanized steel.
To use them, you only have one thing to do: hang them!
- Hook to a gantry: Fit the swing rings into gantries of the gantry
- Hook to a beam: screw two pigtail hooks into the beam with 40cm of gap and then insert the swing rings into the hooks
- Hook to a tree: Wrap two slings around your branch with 40 cm spacing then attach a snap hook to each loop of the sling. Then, attach the swing rings to each carabiner. (see image below)

Anti UV treatment
To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.
Better resistance to weather
Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.
Longer life
The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.
Polypropylene is the most economical and lightweight fibre. It has an excellent quality/price ratio for uses that do not require a rope with a high performance mechanical strength.
Polypropylene is floating and hydrophobic. It can be in permanent contact with water without degrading itself. It is resistant to moisture.
Density: 0.91
Polypropylene fiber has good UV resistance but it is still inferior to polyester and nylon.
For a better outdoor life, make sure that your polypropylene rope is treated against UV. All our polypropylene ropes are.
Polypropylene is resistant to mites, bacteria, strong acids and alkalis and ordinary solvents. It is sensitive to aromatic compounds. It dissolves in chlorinated solvents at high temperatures.
