Name all 3 basic lashings and when you use each.

  • Square Lashing: Used to bind two poles together at a right angle. It's ideal for load-bearing structures where the poles are squared to the ground, like building shelters or creating frames for furniture.
  • Diagonal Lashing: Used to bind poles together diagonally, particularly when they don't quite touch or when they are part of crossed bracing to prevent racking (twisting or rotating). It's effective for applications like cross braces on a trestle or legs of a picnic table.
  • Round Lashing: Used to bind two parallel poles together to extend their length or combine them for added strength. Examples include creating a longer flagpole or reinforcing a weaker pole. Unlike the other basic lashings, it typically doesn't involve frapping turns.
