Round Lashing



Round Lashing

    

Comments

  1. Used to lash two poles together (constructing a flagpole).
  2. Tie a clove hitch round the bottom pole.
  3. Wind the rope around both six or seven times.
  4. Finish with two half hitches round both poles.
  5. The lashing can be tightened by driving a small wooden peg between the poles.
  6. If possible force a wedge under the lashings to make them really tight. If the spars are vertical, bang the wedge in downwards.
