is this rope suitable for outdoor use, on pavement?

You can use the rope outdoors but do not use it directly on concrete as it will destroy the cable very quickly. All cable jump ropes should only be used on a smooth non-abrasive surface. If the only surface you have available is concrete then be sure to put a small sheet of vinyl or a thin floor mat down and jump on that.

You can, but you will chew up the cable faster that way. Best to use on rubber mating.

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.

It could be, but it doesn't really seemed designed for such use. It's a bit on the fragile side. Also, I'm not sure about the range of the controller for outdoor use.

I suppose in theory it could although I I've never tried that. I would think there would be better choices out there for a swing rope.

Yes it can be used outdoors. The skin is thick and so is the padding. You could probably lay it on gravel and be alright. The covering seems like it would repel water. You could probably leave it out in the rain and it'd be ok with a towel drying. Can't say how it'd hold up if you left it outside in the elements 24/7 though.

The company should answer. However, I do not believe that this was designed for outdoor use.

I would not put it outdoors or anywhere that is near high traffic. The material sheds fiber glass. It is designed for welding protection and not for outdoor use.

Yes, but I would not recommend using Manila rope for an outside swing. Manila weakens and rots over time due to rain, moisture, UV. One day a year or two from now, you'll climb on the swing, get up to max height and the rope will break - there goes your back, an arm, or a pelvic bone. Use a rope rated for outside or marine(water) applications - nylon maybe. Use 1" or 2" dia. Be safe - especially if children may use the swing.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

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.

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!!

We have had this for over 3 years now and we have succesfully used it outside. It's a little worse for wear, and i certainly would not recommend it on pavement, but yes. Taking it outside is fine as long as it is not left outside.

Yes, you are able to use this rope outside and you are able to perform the criss-cross with this rope. I have done it several times. If you are used to a non-wire rope, the feel is different as the rope responds differently as opposed to plastic. The wire is coated with a nice, slick plastic and is very durable. Unless you are using it on some rugged concrete (which is typically not-recommended as concrete does not provide much cushion for your knee), you should be ok with this. If you ARE using it on a concrete surface with a jagged texture, expect some scratches and eventually the rope may give.

I'm reading what's on the label. It's an Easy Liner with select grip top and bottom. It cushions and protects, AND it's machine washable! So, I would think that it could be used outside. It is a sturdy product that doesn't shred or tear easily. You would have to use scissors or utility knife to cut it.The only Caution statement is that "product may stain lacquer or polyurethane surfaces." I hope this helps.

Never I had to use for outdoor, I think depends in what kind of material you are going to use.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.
