Sheet rope vs actual rope?

Question

Apologies if this has already been asked but is there any difference between using a sheet rope to climb through windows and using an actual rope? Are actual ropes more durable or anything like that? Thinking about destroying the stairs in my base and just using sheet ropes to get in and out but concerned about the possibility of zombies destroying them all while I’m outside.

Unfortunately those are two entirely different items.

Sheet ropes are used to climb windows.

Ropes are used to pack wooden logs. And can not be used on windows.

You can hang normal ropes as sheet ropes too, it's identical in appearance to the classic sheet ropes and probably in function.

Oh? Didn't know that. Will check it out. Wonder if you pull the rope back up will it stay regular rope of become sheet rope...

Nah, you get the ropes back. Had my only two ropes mysteriously vanish from my inventory during a big construction project, my first thought was some sort of bug involving log stacking deleted them until I retraced my steps to when I hung a buncha sheet ropes

Not as far as I can tell. Sheet ropes don't degrade and I don't expect rope would either.

Possibly a rope can reach more than one level? Normally it requires 1 sheet rope per floor.

It's a good plan to keep yourself safe. As long as you have a few options to leave so they can't just camp your only exit.

You use ropes to stack logs. When stacking logs using ropes, you decrease the weight they have, meaning you can carry more. You need 2 ropes to do this and having 4 ropes makes everything easier.
