Coated Rope is a PVC rope that we sell by the metre, and it looks like round leather. A leather leash hardens and starts to crack after a few trips through the mud, but water and mud do no harm to this rope. It is stiffer in small eyes and tight bends, so for those, choose the flexible version.
Inside is a polyester core, with a PVC coating on top. The rope keeps its weight even after a dip in a stream, and a wipe with a cloth is all it needs after a walk. Unlike leather, it does not stretch out or scuff.
It resists mould and bacteria and does not hold odours. That makes it a good fit for leashes and halters for dogs and horses that spend a lot of time outside.
We had samples of every diameter pulled to breaking in a certified laboratory. You will find the exact breaking loads in the full test report in the Documents to download section.
We sell the rope by the metre, from 1 m. The 30 m pack works out cheaper per metre and has at most three joins, so keep that in mind when you plan your lengths.
Round PVC cord has no textile braid, so ordinary stitching does not suit it. The needle would damage the structure of the material and the joint could tear out under pull. I make the loop with a rope clamp: I thread the cord through the clamp, form a loop and squeeze the clamp in a press or a vice. I hide the joint under a rubber cover or coloured heat shrink tubing.
I fit the free ends with cord end caps. I put the end cap on the cut end and fix it with Loctite adhesive. It covers the cut end of the material, and when matched in colour with the snap hook and clamp, the leash looks all of a piece.
