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.
