I can't offer much in the way of knot advice, but I'll suggest that when you're positioning them in your bamboo grid (or whatever frame structure you are using) start off with zip ties. If you try to just tie them directly you're in for a lot of frustration. I positioned them with zip ties, then secured them with galvanized fencing wire like you can find in hardware or feed & supply stores. I removed the zip ties and then finished up with rope. The galvanized wire does all the structural work meaning the rope is merely ornamental, so you don't have to worry so much about knot integrity, etc. At least, that's the way I approached it.
