Three poles can be tied in similar fashion, with frapping turns between each pair of
poles.

SQUARE LASHING

If you are making scaffolding or other large square frames, Square Lashing is the
method to use on the corners that meet at right angles.

STEP 1 Arrange two poles at a 90-degree angle to each other. Anchor one end with a

Clove Hitch (see Chapter 8) and start wraps, as shown.

STEP 2 Make four wraps, passing over the pole at the top, and under the pole at the
bottom, keeping each wrap tight.

STEP 3 Make two frapping turns, staying in front of the back pole and behind the
front pole, just as you would do with a Sheer Lashing.
