Barrier Ropes

BARRIER ROPE. COM (UK) specialise in decorative barrier ropes, room dividers and cordons. We use traditional techniques, high quality ropes, cords and twines, and offer a choice of brass, chromed and locally forged wrought iron custom fittings.

To order barrier ropes and fittings, and for more information on how we make our barrier ropes, please see our Barrier Rope page.

Barrierrope.com has been developed in response to an increasing demand for natural fibre barrier ropes and custom designed rope room dividers which are required to span particular measurements.

It is important to differentiate between a barrier rope that uses hook end fittings and a stair rope or handrail with Manrope knots or Sailor's Eye splices. These are tied from the same rope and threaded through purpose designed stair rope fittings, which are then securely attached to a wall.
The function of a hook and eye plate type barrier rope is to provide a decorative guide only, and cannot be used for support.

An alternative design we developed for a removable cordon rope, substitutes the hook ends for traditional Sailors' eye splices, which are tied into the rope ends and - instead of the eye plates - our custom made wrought iron fittings are used as barrier hooks and mounted on the wall, panel or posts as required. Examples of these (for stair ropes) can be seen on our Fittings for Rope Handrails page.

Do get in touch on the Contact link below if you would like to detail your project for a specific installation or discuss ideas and bespoke work.

Our choice of Ropes for barriers and decorative rope dividers include the natural plant fibre ropes such as hemp, cotton and manila, as well as synthetic ropes made from polyester and nylon, available in both coloured and natural shades. We also hand make our own exclusive "Wound" Ropes which incorporate mixed fibres and/or diameters of ropes and cordage.
