Full Suspension Hanging setup

[xjxj]

Hello people of Sasu,
I've made a possible hanging setup with 12mm polyester (static) climbing rope over my door, anchored on my doorknob.
I would like some suggestions or comments on this setup, as I do not want to fail my attempt.

Here are some pics:




The knot is an arbor knot, and the anchor knot is a bowline knot.

I'm a little bit concerned because my rope seems to have trouble tightening to its fullest when I tie the knots. (you can see it in the bowline knot and the stopper knot on the arbor, there is a bit of gap that have trouble tightening.) Is this bad for full suspension hanging? I think this is caused by the thickness of the rope (?) How should I make it more flexible?
Note: I bought this rope a week ago, so it's fairly new, if it matters.

Looking forward for any suggestions.

About the rope..

That type of rope (Kernmantle) is somewhat difficult to tighten the knots because it has an inner core of fibers. That makes it more rigid.

Perhaps you could test the ligature on one leg and pull on the free end to see if it tightens and penetrates well. Or perhaps you could get a braided rope without an inner core, which are more flexible.

You can put adhesive tape (or burn) to the ends of the rope to prevent fraying, and tie a stopper knot (overhand knot) to the free end of the bowline knot for more security.

The knot at the free end of the arbor knot should be closer to the eyelet of the ligature.

thanks for ur info. Does my setup still work though? do I have a good chance of succeeding with it?

i would just have some method of being sure the rope won't slide to the side

Do you mean the rope might slide off the top of the door? If so, I think I will hot glue something, maybe like a small cardboard box, next to the rope so it doesn't slide off.
