Square Lashing
Binds poles at right angles for load-bearing structures.
The Square Lashing is used to securely bind two poles crossing at right angles, typically for constructing load-bearing frameworks like tripods, scaffolding, bridges, and towers. It starts with a Clove Hitch, followed by tight wraps and frapping turns to ensure stability. Ideal for pioneering and scouting projects, it works best when poles cross at 45-90 degrees.
Advantages
Creates strong, stable connections for load-bearing structures, ensuring durability in construction and outdoor projects.
Disadvantages
Requires precise execution to prevent gaps between poles. Not suitable for flexible or moving joints.
