How to model rope wrapping

How can I apporach modeling how this rope is wrapped arond the frame and the sheeting?

To create the rope shape, I have been using a bevel on a curve and using the spiral curve to create the wrap around the first pole. However, after this, I don’t know what the next step could be. I have tried manually extending the curve, but the results do not look great. Is there a better approach?

Welcome :tada:

I tried this with a spiral from the extra curves addon and scaled it to fit a cylinder and a plane with holes like so:

In fact there seems to be a lot of tutorials for dangleing or manual rigged ropes but nothing (?) for tight spaned ropes ? (Properly also via some simulation ??)
