I am a poorfag graduate student. Pulling off the nasty fence posts, and replacing them with open ropes is the best I can do. But the rope I could buy couldn't fit around my whole backyard, and the photo is the best solution I could come up with that fits the conditions. What ideas do you all have to make the rope break look alright?

FML.
Okay. What the fuck are you trying to do?
Are you trying to fence in your yard with rope? What the fuck? Why?
Your fence in the background is fine.
Learn to tie a knot so it doesn't look like shit at least.

Fair enough, I am a computer science graduate student, so that's definitely a possibility.
Anyway, I am trying to rid the original nasty fence (which was basically rotting) with something else. Digging is out of the question, because literally my entire yard is inundated with stones. So, instead of creating new posts, I went with the eyelet and rope look. I think it looks good, actually.
Anyway, the bundles of rope I bought basically end at the photo. There is an opportunity to do either 1) cut the rope; or 2) keep the rope as is and add something. My question is what does 4chan think I should do? The possibility for something else is also on the table.

If that is your 'rotting' fence in the background there... it is practically brand new. I can't really believe the posts are rotting already.
If they are, get galvanized fence posts and replace with them.

no, my fence is the shitty post connected with hemp rope.
You're still not making any sense. How do eyelets and rope fix your rotting posts?
>>1011369
The fence was comprised of two distinct parts. One were the posts that were cemented in the ground, which I kept because they weren't bad. The other part were the posts I took down because they were rotting.

You could splice the eyelets into the rope properly, you should make a fid out of a pen or something and google chain rope splice.
Ok wtf dude I've read this over and over and I don't see the problem with the fence that's already there, it separates the neighbors property from yours and it's in great shape. Why are you trying to build a second fence? POST MORE PICS SO WE CAN SEE WTF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

But also stupid because what's the point of a cs grad student that can't explain things.
reeeeeeeee.

i think the good fence is his neighbors or something
and his "fence" is that post with the rope
hahaha
if so just use the neighbors fence

I'm betting the 'posts' he took down because they were rotting was actually the pickets.
>graduate student - doesn't know posts from pickets

What are you trying to keep in/out? I could imagine a very lazy old blind heifer that had never been beyond the previous fence *might* respect your ropes out of habit, but that's it. This to me looks more like something you would do with twine to mark off a boundary temporarily that would last a bit longer than using spray paint or a trip hazard like metal wire.
If you go with this technique, be sure to leave yourself some way to allow access to the cow to get back there and cut the grass.
OP posted something just as funny years ago. And I know the title is wrong and he did not post it on 4chan, but its' amazing that he has not changed a bit.

What a nasty job of tying that wire. You'd never get a good strain on it without it coming free.
Google 'figure 8 knot"

You notice the cow is cockeyed? She has no use in rappelling vertically on fuckin barbed wire. Why not connect two constrictor knots? It's not likely she can untie them using her hoofs.

It's probably a repair for a broken strand.
Make one loop - feed other end through and pull back to tighten strand.
More difficult to do with a figure eight...
