Project ideas for massive ship rope.

Question

I recently became the proud new owner of about 200' of massive ship rope. My ideas were to create a coffee table/ottoman by wrapping something like a tire with it or wrapping a picture frame or mirror with it.
What do you guys think? Any cool ideas?

Hanging hammock chairs woven with it? Chair rail in a nautical themed room? Cord cover for hanging light fixture? The possibilities are endless. Great find!!

I would use it to border the flower beds.. you can use tent spikes to hold it in place..

put it on the top of a railing,then you could put some around a base of a table,if you have a box that needs / wants to have a up-do , you could cover it (sides)? 
Really is a great find!

Karyn Workman · Answer

I would use it in a nautical themed room as a rustic crown moulding.

Susan-Amber Springer · Answer

I am sooooo envious! All the suggestions are excellent, but by all means keep the patina by not painting it...maybe marine varnish?

Beatriz Alvarenga · Answer

eu colocaria um tecido nela e depois enrolaria ela feito uma poltrona

Bwbakke · Answer

If you live near water use it as a hand rail to descend to the bottom level...or drap it along the top of a fence..don't leave it on the ground.Keep it up for air to circulate around it..I had one and I hung it between two trees and hung crab trap floats on it...in N,Minn...mine was only about 50ft. Good luck enjoy...

'Wish I had it! I'm building my great-grandson a pirate ship in my backyard, for the summer months when I'm babysitting! I could make a great rope climb with this!

Lezlie · Answer

Make a sidewalk/porch/patio handrail. Set large posts into the ground, bore holes thru,  about 8' from the top, and feed the rope thru, knotting at each side of hole.

Tuzwoo · Answer

make a hanging outdoor table and matching chairs with it.

Kelley M · Answer

Make a table top with it for an outdoor table. Put it on a round board and cover with a nice piece of plexiglass. Would make a killer patio table. You could make it square too!

Shari Veater · Answer

I would hold onto it for a few weeks and then decide...all your ldeas are great and what a great find! I live right by the 'smallest ' harbor in the world, and I never see any of that heavy rope in the toss pile

E4lizerd · Answer

I have seen this type rope wrapped around a long and interesting branch that was sunk into a concrete base with an old fashioned light fixture with an old fashioned bulb hanging down as a floor lamp, it was stunning.

Fenya Kashergen · Answer

If inspiration fails you, sell it on eBay or craigslist

Mike N Toni · Answer

coil it around and tack it, use it for an outdoor rug

Judy Parkey · Answer

Every time I see the little pic of the rope....it looks like a huge SNAKE to me.

Kelly S · Answer

That's about a 3' diameter mooring line and extremely heavy. As is you could outline planting beds with it, hand rails or several rope swings. Unbraided you could make a number of the above things special for macramé items or braided rugs. It's the same thing they use to hold massive ships, think aircraft carriers or cruiseliners, to a pier. Good luck.

Ozzys Girl · Answer

We are doing a nautical new deck, this would be great for the accents

Comet · Answer

I think this might be called a 'Hawser' rope. If it has colored thread inside you can tell what country's ship it came from! I have always wanted one for a handrail with brass--not polished!!!!---fittings. Great find!

Lori · Answer

Barbara Fields · Answer
