Could I use this rope on a concrete surface? I noticed many comments were that they rope was used indoors. Thanks

Use it anywhere! I only use it outdoors. It does beat up the rope a little bit and using it indoors keeps it in better shape but I would rather workout outdoors any day!! Check out YouTube "battle rope workouts" to get a great variety of exercises!! What a great workout!!

Short answer is yes. Further, depending on the finish of the "concrete", it could be the ideal surface. Interior concrete finishes like those found in garages or warehouse floors are really not abrasive. Blacktop is typically not very abrasive. Asphaults vary. Exterior concretes vary, but some can be very abrasive.That said, rope of this sort only comes in three common varieties: poly dac, cotton, or manila. Each has pros and cons. If the concrete is your primary concern, this rope should be as good as the next in that aspect. Also good for outdoors because of moisture resistance...for more details, see my review.

I use the rope on all surfaces, mainly concrete. I haven't had any problems with wear or fraying. My ropes have picked up a little dirt though. I am a certified strength trainer and really have my clients put these ropes through the ringer.

Concrete will increase wear and tear. Smooth surface/grass is easier on it I use mine in the back yard.

The outside sheathing on the rope is flexible and fairly coarse. I have not had any problems with knots loosening. This is a utility rope, not intended for climbing, rappeling. etc. I use it mostly when working up high to apply tension to branches to direct their fall after cutting. It is a good general purpose utility rope and I have used it for many things from tree work to camping to raising light loads. As always, use the proper knot for the application. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can use it indoors, AND it WORK!! We use ours mainly in our basement, specifically in our furnace orifice, because we've had a problems with those teeny tiny red spiders (about the size smaller than a pinhead) building webs, making our furnace stop. This only happens when the furnace has not been running for a period of maybe three to four weeks.

I was using mine in my basement, with a rug on the floor. My hockey sticks broke indoors. Plus it is knee hockey, so it might be hard to do outdoors.

Yes you can use this in a basement. Will stay still on concrete surface.. My daughters hit into ours in the garage.

I would not play with it on cement. It will tear up the leather pretty quickly. Also, this is an outdoor ball. You can play with this ball inside, but it plays differently. Generally, you would use an indoor ball inside and outdoor ball outside. If the level of competition is pretty low, it would do.

I used nails. Tacked the top rope and then wrapped it tightly around the post. It was a two person operation for us. Wear gloves and in a garage or some place like that.

I think you could. We used a tree, but knotting the rope somehow so it doesn't slide should work.

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into.I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;>)

It may work better on concrete rather than wood - which is what I had. However the risk you are running is that you spend a lot of money and time (as I did) only to have to rip the whole stuff up again. I'd try another product if I were you.

Based on my experience using the rope, I would say yes to both. Very durable. If you have the skill to criss-cross, it's a fast rope and will work.

I never have tried on a wooden surface. I always use it on concrete, but it would seem like you could use it on wood. Really don't know for certain.

I use it indoors. I know they make specific ones for outdoors that can withstand the weather. This one did not advertise itself as an indoor/outdoor.

It would probably work on a sealed and polished concrete floor. It would be very slick when you do it due to the amount of moisture it produces.

As a daily use rope I'd say no. That said it would work just fine for intermittent use as long as you realize it's not a fall-rated rope like a static-line or climbing rope. General use is where it's shines due to it's light weight and easy handling texture. For the money it's hard to beat.

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

It can be set up on concrete but your are risking ripping it if it is played on roughly. I have had a couple of tips in my but they were easily repaired with nylon fishing line.
