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.
