    I'd stick to synthetic vines, otherwise you will get mold on cotton ones. You may have to braid a whole bunch together, to get the right thickness.

    I would go with a poly rope.
    You know the thick scratchy plastic looking stuff that they use for ski rope. Anything organic such as cotten or sisal will mold in a high humidity environment.
    Not to mention that it will absorb wastes and smell!

    Sisal also would be very rough on the wd's feet. I have been wrapping posts in it for cat scratching pads and after each session I end up with countless splinters that just don't want to come out.
