Built For Play, Engineered For Safety

At Certex UK, we understand that playground ropes must combine strength, safety, and visual appeal. That’s why we supply a comprehensive range of steel-cored playground ropes available in multiple constructions, diameters, and vibrant colour options.

Whether you are designing a new play structure or maintaining existing equipment, this guide outlines the technical specifications of our rope systems — including construction styles, performance features, and colour choices — to help you select the ideal rope solution.

Twisted PP Multi Colour Options & Construction

Our Combi Play 6-strand combination ropes are available with a durable twisted PP Multi outer finish, offering a cost-effective and hard-wearing solution for playground applications.

Each rope is constructed using a 6-strand steel wire rope with either a fibre core (FC) or an independent wire rope core (IWRC), overlaid with tightly twisted polypropylene yarns. This construction provides excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, making it well suited to demanding outdoor environments.

We offer 13 standard PP Multi colour options, allowing playground designers to achieve vibrant, highly visible installations while maintaining long-term durability. The twisted polypropylene finish delivers consistent colour performance, low moisture absorption, and strong resistance to UV exposure and environmental wear.

Twisted/Braided Nylon Colour Options & Construction

Our Combi Play 6-strand combination ropes are available in a wide selection of durable, UV-stabilised twisted and braided nylon colours, designed to enhance both the visual appearance and long-term performance of playground equipment.

Each rope is manufactured using a 6-strand steel wire construction with either a fibre core (FC) or an independent wire rope core (IWRC), surrounded by tightly braided nylon yarns. This design provides excellent tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for high-traffic outdoor play environments.

We offer 11 standard colour options, enabling designers and installers to match rope systems to playground themes or project branding requirements. The braided nylon outer layer delivers vibrant, long-lasting colour while maintaining a smooth, user-friendly surface.
