The load was actually on it's way to Ellenbrook.... :laughing3:


If that is the "Medalist" Brand rope form bunnings, and I think it is, it even came in at #4 in Choice's Shonky awards for last year:

Looks strong, tissue paper core. Fail!

Two things; you generally get what you pay for and buyer beware!

I bought some of this rope a while back to make a swing for the scouts,,
I was given a heads up before we had a chance to use it.

Cut a piece about 1-2 inches long and remove the fibrous filling from the centre.
now pull the leftover woven outer layer tight and you will have a piece of chord about 1/8" Dia.

Now get the filling and unroll it... it's tissue paper!!

And I was going to get the kids to swing on this stuff !! :oops:
