Looking for info and a couple pics. Been searching an hour now and can't find it!

Simple loop through screw eyes at each stem, with a plastic pipe to make it easy on the hand. Someone tell me how to tie the knot? Maybe it's crammed into the pipe, I dunno. Had a very neat look, I remember that much.

Info is appreciated, thanks! :)

I use the three ply poly rope , usually yellow in color.

You take the rope apart and then using a single strain re wrap it back on its self after deciding the size of the loop.. The twist in the rope will basically do the job for you by wrapping to the twist in it. Then the end is wrapped like you would wrap the feral on a fishing rod with smaller line. Put a coat of super glue on that and it is sealed.

I don't have a picture of the process but it is easy to do.

What you have made is a gromet. Make eight of them, drive two stakes in the ground a little distance apart and let them play a type of horseshoes. Guarenteed not to make them bleed when hit with one.
