Rope Care

To get the best performance and longest life out of your Alchemist Athletics ropes, please follow these care tips:

  • PVC Ropes – While PVC can be used outdoors, repeated use on rough surfaces like concrete will wear the cord down faster over time. PVC may also crack or snap in very cold temperatures (below freezing). For best results, use PVC ropes on smooth rubber matting, gym flooring, or wood surfaces.
  • Beaded Ropes – Beaded ropes are highly durable and can handle most surfaces and all weather conditions, making them perfect for outdoor training year-round.
  • Storage – Hang your rope on a door frame or hook when not in use. Avoid storing in damp or freezing areas.
  • Sizing – Avoid using an unnecessarily long rope length, as it can cause tangling and extra wear.
  • General Safety – Keep ropes and packaging away from small children and pets.
