Is it all for show? Cause that setup in the pic is only as strong as that screw into the rope. I’d think about putting a hole in that post, run the rope through & secure it on the back side with something beefier. If just for show and you’re looking for different ideas on looks, imagine passing the rope through the hole, into that same chrome sleeve, push the sleeve into the back side hole, screw it down. Then the front side would look like the rest of the posts. You could even hide the hole/sleeve in back by countersinking/ covering it. Lol, that make sense?

Is the corner post having your fence make a 90?
Why not have the rope make the 90 inside the post?

Cut the top off, drill out the middle with a first er bit, drop holes from each side, thread rope through, tie knots and stuff back inside, put top back on. A 6x6 post would be easier to hide it.
For the lower ropes, drill through cut a recess and have the rope at a 90 on the less seen side, cover with a facia board of same material as post
That metal piece shown up top is more decorative vs structural.

I have this style in 3 areas of my yard. All of the ropes just run thru the holes, they are not secured, and they aint gonna just pull out.
The rope is tight in the holes. .

Why? It’s not code it dries out it sticks In your hands like needles hell just go get scrap cable. Building codes suck but they can protect you if you have no railing and something happens you are screwed and rope is NO railing. Do you like the look? If so get Coated

Yeah, I just didn’t want anything protruding on the outside of the corner posts both ways (both front and side), since rope is coming from 2 ways. I would just take the rope through the post and simply tie and knot and screw it secure, but I don’t think it would look good having knots on 2 sides of the same post
Wait, why do you have 2 ropes coming into the same post? I don’t follow
ETA: ohhhh, it’s Making a 90 there. I think you can make the turn. If you’re using 4x4, I’d go 1.5”. Can’t go any bigger cause that only leaves you less than an inch on each side. I have some battling ropes that were used at my gym. The 1.5 bends pretty easy. Prolly won’t be fun getting it through but I have faith in you lol
