Abstract
A rope container insert including a concave base and a number of rigid vertical fins extending up from the base to form a number of cavities disposed to receive and store individual sections of rope. The two outermost fins are spaced inwardly from the lateral edges of the base such that two additional cavities are formed between the rope container walls and the outermost fins. An interior fin is located between the outermost fins and includes a handle opening for moving the insert in and out of the rope containers or transferring the insert from one rope container to another. The insert is adapted for use in both rope bags and rope cans.
