Sisal rope is a natural fiber rope made from the Agave sisalana plant, primarily grown in Mexico and South America. It is known for its strength, durability, and eco-friendly properties, making it suitable for various applications, including gardening and DIY projects.
Sisal rope is often compared to Manila rope but is generally rougher and not as strong. The fibers used to create sisal rope undergo a process called decortication to extract them from the plant leaves.
Its long history and impressive strength have made it a popular choice among craftsmen and for heavy-duty tasks. ( Wikipedia )

| Polypropylene |
|
|
Polypropylene rope is most often yellow, though any color is possible. It is often used in marine applications because it floats in water. The rope is sometimes difficult to tie as it is somewhat stiff and brittle. It is a synthetic-fiber rope.
The easiest way to make an initial identification of a rope is to visit a hardware store where rope is sold. The packaging will tell you what the rope is made of.
If you want to be sure, buy some of each type (with the labeling) or examine it closely in the store.
