A 100-foot hank of 4mm 550-style paracord with a multi-strand core. It is the classic cord for guy lines, clothes lines, tarp shelters, repairs, tying down loads and replacing broken laces.

It is general-purpose utility cord, and the 550 lb rating is the seller's description. It is not for climbing, towing vehicles or supporting a person.

Key features

  • About 31 metres (100 ft) long
  • 4mm diameter
  • Multi-strand inner core (listing says 9-core)
  • Nylon outer sheath
  • Many uses: tarp lines, clothes lines, repairs
  • Cut ends and melt to stop fraying

How to use it

You cut a length of cord and tie it for guy lines, clothes lines, tarp shelters, repairs and tying down loads.

  1. Measure the length you need, allowing extra for knots, then cut it from the hank.
  2. Seal the cut end by briefly heating it with great care so the sheath does not fray.
  3. Wrap the cord around your anchor point once or twice.
  4. Finish with two half hitches, or a taut-line hitch if you need to adjust tension.
  5. Pull the knot tight and check it does not slip.
  6. Keep the load well inside the 550 lb figure given in the listing.
Tips
  • Practise your knots at home before you need them.
  • Coil spare cord loosely so it does not kink.
Safety and limits
  • Not for climbing, towing or any life-support use.
  • The 550 lb rating is the listing's claim and is untested.
  • Molten nylon is hot and sticks to skin, so take care when sealing ends, and keep children away.
Please note
  • Not for climbing, towing or any life-support use.
  • Rating is the seller's claim and not independently tested.
