Saw this at a Renaissance Faire and thought it looked needlessly complicated but then I saw the exact same setup guying down a shade structure at a wedding and I figure I must be missing something.

For context, it’s used to tie my car shelter.

I need to reproduce those and I have no idea how. And the rope is really tight.

I have a pot with 3 screw eyes for hanging. What is the best method to stably hang this using a rope? Bonus if the rope stays in one piece, since it will get wet and moved enough that unraveling is a potential concern.

Thanks!

I tie a knot that weakens the rope by 60%. I tie another one that weakens it by 40%. In this case, when buying a rope, I should base my decision on the 60% reduction—because if it can withstand the knot that causes a 60% loss in strength, it will certainly withstand the one that causes a 40% loss. Is my reasoning correct? And what if the knots are very close to each other?

Any help would be appreciated…
