Not so fun update....

That manila rope I have around my bar? Well it rained. What happens to manila rope when it gets wet? That's right, it shrinks. And what happens to miter joints that are wrapped with a shrinking rope? That's right.....they split. Ug. Have to redo the bartop.

Ouch, that stinks.

There is available a poly blend rope that looks like manilla but won't shrink or rot. It's not cheap though.
