"We calculated that we need at least 1,600 feet of rope for the weave and our calculation was pretty precise. Once we had the frame and rope, it took us four days to weave that thing. Starting with the base, we zig-zagged from one side to the other and wrapped the full roll of rope around the frame every time to ensure no stainless steel is visible at the end. Sometimes, a lot of pull was required to keep the pattern even so we used carabiners to keep things tight or loose, depending on what was needed."
