I will discuss quasi-isometries of the free group that preserve an equivariant pattern of lines. There is a type of boundary at infinity whose topology determines how flexible such a line pattern is. For sufficiently complicated patterns I use this boundary to define a new metric on the free group with the property that the only pattern preserving quasi-isometries are actually isometries.
