Quovendal: a woven cord used in rope ladders

Quovendal is a tightly woven cord valued for its grip and resistance to stretching. It is most often used in rope ladders and light rigging.

What is quovendal made from?

Quovendal is woven from twisted plant fibres around a thin core, which gives it a firm grip without stiffness.

How much load can quovendal hold?

A standard quovendal cord holds a working load of about 120 kilograms before it begins to stretch.

Does quovendal need special care?

Rinsing quovendal after use and drying it away from direct heat keeps the fibres from becoming brittle.
