📝 Product Details
Product description

The story behind SGT KNOTS begins with Mike Shelley. After serving in the Marine Corps, Mike started a simple website selling custom paracord keychains and bracelets. At the time, paracord was the military’s best kept secret.
Mike was shocked to discover how difficult it was to find paracord online, but even more shocked when his products began flying off the shelves faster than he could create them. The need for accessible, high-quality paracord was obviously out there, so Mike “SGT KNOTS” Shelley set out to make it happen.
As SGT KNOTS grew and branched out to new products – ropes, twines, cord – Mike saw a darker side of the rope supply industry. Suppliers masquerading as manufacturers and manufacturers using deceptive production techniques to cheapen products. The Marine Corps holds honesty and integrity in high regard. Mike knew SGT KNOTS would need to bring these values to the market.
Through years of trial and error, Mike built close relationships with reliable, top-quality American and international manufacturers that couldn’t get into big-box retailers, but that plenty of DIYers, boat owners, farmers and ranchers, and businesses wanted. An online marketplace was the obvious solution.
From humble beginnings, SGT KNOTS has grown into a global depot with a steady stream of products shipping from around the world. SGT KNOTS utilizes both international and USA-based factories to manufacture the highest quality products available and bring them to market at the best possible value.
SGT KNOTS is now the leading webstore for all things paracord, rope, twine, and more! Through their ever-growing network honest manufacturers, SGT KNOTS can source any order, from small personal use supplies to custom bulk savings packages.
If you need a rope, cord, twine, or cable and you don’t see it in our current offerings, let us know and we can get it to you. That’s a SGT KNOTS promise.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I love it!
Made an ottoman with it and I absolutely love it! Purchased 3 times for the job and each time I had to start a new section it matched seamlessly! Dries well no issues with mold so far. – Amazon Customer Jul 12, 2019

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Perfect
We bought the 3/4” for a hanging swing bed in our outdoor patio. A 50’ length was perfect for 8’ pergola ceilings times 4 ropes. It did have a bit of a smell, but we didn’t care about that because it’s outdoors anyways. This rope was perfect for what we needed it for! – Julie Aug 19, 2019

HOW TO STORE: The Manila natural fiber rope can be kept in any place around the house or garage with good ventilation. Dry areas work as the best place to store this large brown rope. It can also be stored in a shed or backyard. Keeping the rope covered will increase its lifespan.
OIL-TREATED DURABILITY: Manila Natural rope is produced in the Philippines. During production, cordage oil is applied to the fibers so it can be twisted into rope. The oil produces a smell that dissipates over time. In high humidity climates the smell will take slightly longer to fade away. This rope is primarily recommended for outdoor applications or Craft Rope
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: While Manila is wonderful for many applications, it can’t be perfect for every situation. If Manila doesn’t suit your needs, SGT KNOTS stocks alternative natural or brown ropes. For crafting and indoor projects consider Jute Rope or Sisal Rope. For a heavy duty rope project that requires resistance to more extreme environments, consider ProManila or UnManila.
