Round Lashing
Step by step:

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