The invention provides a composite rope (10, 20) and mesh net (50) made therefrom. The composite rope (10, 20) comprises a plurality of outer fibre strands (14, 24) twisted or braided around an inner elongate core (12, 22) so as to provide the rope (10, 20) with increased durability. The inner elongate core (12, 22) extends at least partially in a helical configuration, and may comprise an expanded metal wire core having a helical configuration, alternatively a number of steel or synthetic elongate strands or filaments (26) wound to form a twisted cable in which each strand or filament (26) has a helical configuration. The mesh net (50) comprises a number of lengths of rope (52) knotted together at regular spaced intervals, with the net (50) being stretched and heat set during manufacture, and wherein the mesh net (50) includes at least some lengths of composite rope (1 0, 20) in accordance with the invention. The invention further provides for methods of using the mesh net (50). |
