Step 5 · Thread and Secure Rope

Begin by threading the cut rope through the first mounting bracket. Pull the rope taut along the marked path, threading it through each subsequent bracket. At the starting bracket, secure the rope using a strong, aesthetically pleasing knot (e.g., a figure-eight knot, a clove hitch, or a decorative knot) that can be cinched tightly. Repeat this process at the final bracket, ensuring the rope is kept taut throughout its length. Adjust tension as needed before fully securing the ends.
