Weatherproof protection built in: the galvanised steel core is corrosion resistant from the start, and the 1mm PVC outer layer adds a further weatherproof barrier on top plus a smoother, non-abrasive handling surface than bare wire rope, so the cable is more comfortable to handle and will not scratch or mark whatever it rests against or is wrapped around. Sized for the job: this 5mm overall diameter is built from a 4mm galvanised steel core plus a 1mm PVC coating, so you can match the cable to the size and weight of the task rather than guessing at strength from the outer diameter alone. Suited to a wide range of outdoor and general-purpose jobs at 5mm, from clotheslines and garden washing lines to securing and tying down loads for transport, storage or general site use, and garden rigging such as trellis and plant supports. Supplied as a single cut length of 30m (98.4ft), sized to suit anything from a single garden repair up to a full continuous run, so you choose the length that matches the job rather than paying for more rope than you need. Built to a recognised construction standard: 6x7 FC (fibre core) build to DIN 3055, six strands of wire laid around a flexible fibre core, chosen over a steel-cored equivalent where flexibility and easier handling matter more than maximum crush resistance, so it coils and routes around posts and fixings more readily.
