LASHER
Overhand Knot - Left Rope End
|
|
The shear lashing is used for legs on pioneering projects. First tie a clove hitch around one spar, then bind the two with seven or eight parallel turns. Finish with two or three frapping turns between the spars and a clove hitch to the second spar. |
| Square lashing is used whenever spars cross at an angle and touch each other. Start with a clove or timber hitch around the upright just below the crossing spar. Twist the loose end and the standing part around each other to secure the hitch. Lash in front of and up over the horizontal spar, then behind the upright and around the other side. Repeat four times and end with a clove hitch on the horizontal spar. |

Diagonal lashing is used to “spring” two spars together. Start with a timber hitch around both spars, tightening to draw them together. Next take three or four turns around one fork, then the other. Finish with two frapping turns and a clove hitch around one spar. |
| Lay the spars on the ground in alternate directions. Begin with a clove or timber hitch on the e of the end spars. Take seven or eight loose frapping turns in the spaces between. Finish with a clove hitch on the center spar. |
