I'm new to knots (and to the forum). My repertoire is quite small, and often I find that my limitations are not only in being unaware of an available knot, but often in trying to figure out the right knot for the job.
At any rate, I have some sandbag weights for a canopy tent that I am trying to find the right knots for.
The sandbags have attachment loops, and I am hanging them from the canopy frame ( but easier to just envision them hanging from a nail), using rope. I need to adjust the knot as I need to have the bags sit just slightly above the ground.
I need to disassemble the rope and sandbag from the canopy for storage.
My current method is using a tautline hitch to connect one end of the rope to the other, and adjusting as needed. Seems to work fine, but wondering if there is a more ideal solution.
It just occurred to me as I write this that I could tie a bowline to one end, thread the other end through, then hoist up the bags and perhaps tie off at the loop?
I'll leave it to the experts!
