Help Partial Hanging Plan

Rope Plans

im currently settled on 3/8 Polyester rope (roughly 10mm) and i have it at 5 ft but should i buy more just incase?
I found poly ropes that are either in 3 strand or solid braid but i assume design shouldn't matter much.


My Setup
(ignore the fact that it looks like a prison cell )

This bar looks sturdy, held up by nails, and shouldn't break under weight based on how i felt it. The only caveat is that I'm gonna have to kneel.

I would like to hear advice on what specific knot I should tie my rope in.

5 ft isn't too long, but it could be enough for this low-height setup. If there isn't a big price difference (usually there isn't), longer is always better. Having excess rope at either end is not an issue, and you can also cut it if it's too long. On the other hand, if it turns out to be too short, that's annoying.

Design doesn't matter too much, but it does still matter. Get a braided rope if you can. Solid braided is fine and better than 3-strand. It'll be easier to handle, and it stretches and twists less under load.

Setup

The only caveat is that I'm gonna have to kneel.

If the anchor point is so low that you have to kneel, you might also consider a position where your legs are extended forward (see images below). I think this is a very good position, and it doesn't get mentioned enough. In fact, I think it's even better than kneeling, because when your leg muscles tense up after you've lost consciousness, it won't push you upward, and won't decrease pressure on the neck.

The following hanging videos show people using the above-mentioned position – got them from @JesiBel's comments (1, 2).

Knots

I would like to hear advice on what specific knot I should tie my rope in.

Here are some ideas. You can pick whichever you like. These are all secure knots.

For the anchor point:

• Bowline Knot (optionally with a stopper knot for extra security).
• Anchor Hitch with a stopper knot, or with an added extra Half Hitch followed by a stopper knot.
• Round Turn and Two Half Hitches with a stopper knot, or with an added extra Half Hitch followed by a stopper knot.
• Running Bowline (optionally with an added stopper knot to the Bowline for extra security).
• Tie a small loop at one end of the rope (e.g. an Overhand Loop Knot, a.k.a. Overhand On A Bight), then throw the other end over the bar, and pull it through the small loop. This creates a noose that can be pulled tight around the bar.
• Snuggle Hitch with an added stopper knot.
• (You can also use any of the nooses from below. For example, you could use the same noose both for the neck and the anchor point.)

For the noose:

• Noose Knot with a stopper knot (a.k.a. Arbor Knot).
• Poacher's Knot with a stopper knot.
• Tie a small loop (e.g. an Overhand Loop Knot, a.k.a. Overhand On A Bight) in the rope and pull the rope through it to create a noose.
• Running Bowline.

Thank you for taking the time to help me and provide the resources, i will definitely take a look into this.
