I want to make a nautical display in my backyard. Does this rope look like one used on old boats? Is it thick enough to look real?

Because it's manila it tends to go bad when used in wet environments (in my experience it becomes hard and brittle if exposed to fresh water, even worse with seawater). In terms of appearance though it certainly looks nautical and is a bit more than 2 thumbs width so if it's purely for decoration or dry use this is a fantastic rope.

It's more country looking. We used it to hang our wooden porch swing. My grandpa had a small old yacht growing up, so I'd say go thicker for sure.

I used it for bows for daughters outside wedding. Pretty durable but don't know if thick enough for you're use several wrappings of thickness would probably work and the price is great!!!

Well, it has a nice finish to it. However, it is a bit industrial looking. I used it in my garage & a friend bought one & used it on their out door covered patio . So, it will depend on the look you are trying to attain.

Yes. As Fadi said, not thick. However, the gloss and weight still should make a very nice certificate to present and have framed if desired. I would use it for a certificate.

Yes - the pic is pretty true to life. But it's not meant for heavy fabrics. FYI. Over all a great, little, quick fix.

It's sold off the roll, by the yard; so lineal. If you are using this for a marine application, may I suggest you go with 30 gauge? I used this on my boat, and while it is certainly more than heavy enough, it is NOT the same thickness as what I originally had on my boat. I compared it with others people's boats, and it's all just a bit heavier than this. The lighter gauge does have its advantages: In colder weather, it will stretch easier when you have to snap side-glass into place. Hope this helps.

Not for that its thick, there is an rv awning tape thats clear and has a better chance of working, Most RV stores carry it!

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.

Mine were wood, and very nice for decorative use. I have no idea if they are good for practical purposes as I do not have a boat. However, I got them last year.

I kept it outside this past winter still looks great. When I ordered this item it said it was mesh, it is not mesh it is made out of steel, so I think it will last a long time.

Looks real to me, but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it's definitely not cheap looking. It really is a classy looking round end table with three nice size storage draws. Try going on the Coaster website or give their customer service a call. They'll be able to tell you for sure.

Sorry for the delay in getting back with an answer. I would say the real thing does look a lot like the picture (at least in our case).

I don't know how heavy my boat is so I can't compare but this rope is great quality. I use 4 ropes as I have a slip with dock on each side. This rope is super strong.

I used this for decoration in a capey way, and did not cut it. It's gone now, so I can't answer honestly. HOWEVER, if I remember right, the knots are KNOTS, and not like knitting or crochet.... So I do not THINK it will ravel..... Sorry I can't help more !Joline

Yes, it is. The posts are a slightly different beige due to the color of the rope, but all the faux fur is the same solid beige.

yes...you will want to get a UV spray so it doesn't fade...I made decals for my boat and it worked out fantastic!

Yes, it is like a heavy duty cotton. I had a rope hammock, this is my second, I Love this one so much better. I lay the short way in it and read a book. Big enough so all 5 of my grandchildren can sit in it and swing. LOVE
