URGENT : Knot Request
If anyone knows the right knot to attach a rope to a square (i.e non-cylindrical) post, please let me know, and you shall have my eternal gratitude.
The weight upon the rope will not be great, but the problem here is the slipping of the rope down the post (which is rectangular). It is for an installation I am making, involving suspension of large pieces of netting from angular pillars.
Any assistance/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks T.W. for those links, especially the kite-building one. I've already visited most of the major knot-sites on the web, all of them only have knots that will work on a cylindrical post. (Clove hitches, Rolling hitches, etc).
