I'm making a stand with the single poles angled out and secured with guy lines. I am securing the bottom of the pole with a peg but I want a line for a little insurance and to make it easier to space everything out. I'm using Amsteel for the guy lines but wanted to use cheap stuff I already have to go between the stake and the bottom of the pole. It is a pain to splice so I'm thinking of knotting loops. What knot is the best one to use on a permanent line that does not need adjusting but doesn't weaken it any more than necessary? Double figure eight? Sheet bend?
