This vinyl-coated wire rope is for use as clotheslines, guy lines, and in lawn and garden applications, and is packaged on a reel for storage and dispensing. It is made of galvanized steel, which usually has a higher breaking strength than stainless steel and is coated with a thin layer of zinc that stops it from corrosion and provides rust resistance. Its 1 x 7 strand construction has one strand of wire rope with seven wires in each strand, formed helically around a strand for resistance to abrasion.
