Round Lashing
(With Plain Turns)

Uses: Used to lash two poles together (like in constructing a flagpole).








Instructions: 1) Tie a Clove Hitch around one pole. 2) Wrap the rope around both poles seven or eight times. 3) Finish with two Half Hitches around both poles making a Clove Hitch.

Notes: 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.
