  • 03/04/2023

Ropes are one of the most versatile tools that are essential for many everyday activities, from camping, hiking, and exploring to hanging clothes or changing decorative lights at home, to fishing, aquaculture, or agricultural activities.

The rope is one of the indispensable multi-use tools in many daily activities, from activities such as summer camp, mountain climbing, and exploration to hanging clothes or changing the decorative lights in the family, to fishing, aquaculture, or agricultural activities. However, choosing the right rope for your needs is essential to ensuring the safety and efficiency of your work.

   1. Selection of ropes in the fishing sector 

Fishing or marine fishing is the field that uses the most ropes and has the most stringent requirements for ropes in terms of roughness, breaking force, length, weight, etc. Choosing the wrong technical rope is easy. leads to many dangers in the work, for example, when doing work with high breaking strength, choosing a wire with low breaking strength will easily break the wire and endanger the user. Therefore, choosing the right rope is extremely important.

  • Offshore fishing

Offshore fishing requires seine nets, gillnets strong enough to pull large catches, for these types of offshore fishing nets we should choose net ropes with a diameter of at least 5mm or more, the breaking force of the rope of is more than 300 kgf, the length of the rope depends on the needs of the length of the net, the coarseness (Denier) is about 3000D, and it is recommended to use a 3-strand or 4-strand wire. For the lower rope of the net, which requires a heavy sink, we can choose a rope with a lead core, which is stronger, thicker, and more durable. Siam Brothers Vietnam's offshore fishing line meets ISO standards and other fishing standards, a brand of cock rope, Thailand mooring rope, Thai rope, etc. Vietnamese people have trusted and used for more than 30 years, the distribution network is nationwide.

  • Onshore fishing

Onshore fishing does not require strict technical requirements like offshore fishing. However, it is necessary to choose the proper ropes to be efficient and cost-effective. For gill nets and seine nets for onshore fishing, we can choose the ropes with a diameter of 3mm or more, breaking force greater than 150 kgf, coarseness (Denier) 3000D for small fishing boats.

  • Mooring ropes

Depending on the size and tonnage of the ship, we can choose the mooring rope to suit the needs of the job. For small boats, we can choose 8-strand rope, diameter from 16mm to 55m, breaking force requires more than 3000 kgf, breaking force ranges from 3000 kgf to 30,000 kgf. For large fishing vessels, we can choose 8-strand rope, diameter from 55m to 100mm, breaking force from 30,000 kgf to 100,000 kgf. For super-heavy ships, super ships can use ropes with a diameter of 100mm or more and a breaking force greater than 100,000 kgf.

   2. Selection of ropes in the fisheries and aquaculture sector

In Vietnam, there are many models of aquaculture: Cage aquaculture near the coast, pond culture, floating culture, rice-fish culture, etc. Depending on the aquaculture model, we have suitable choices. For forms of aquaculture such as cage aquaculture, floating culture, and pond culture, we should choose ropes with 3 or 4 strands, a diameter ranging from 3mm to 20mm, a tensile strength greater than 100 kgf, and a fluctuation range from 100 kgf to 5,000 kgf, and also sunshade netting.

   3. Selection of ropes in the agriculture sector

In the agriculture sector, ropes are often used to make: banana twine, hay baler twine, twines for pergola, greenhouse twines, etc. For these agricultural models, we should choose ropes with a diameter has a small size of about 4mm, breaking force of 50kgf or more, roughness (Denier) 1600*10, so that the rope is thin, easy to hold and use, tie but still ensure the required breaking force, not broken.

   4. Selection of ropes for multi-purpose sector: decoration, climbing, sailing boats...

Different from the original purpose, people created ropes to support people in their work.

Here are some pictures of decorative ropes, we can refer to them to choose the right rope for our needs, because it's for decorative purposes, so it doesn't have any technical requirements, just beautiful. and color matching needs is possible to use.
