Ropes, Blocks & Tackle

I have arranged for the donation of 300 feet of rope to use for rigging, I will use a dark color so that it stands out from the white sails and off-white walls. Block & tackle rope rigging can be made from 1 inch pine pullies cut with a 5 inch hole saw. 300 feet of manila rope can be purchased online for about $80 but shipping may be an issue. Local options include buying a spool from Lowe’s or Home Depot, maybe some sort of non-profit organization discount?
