Filipino lashing
This is used as an alternative to the diagonal
lashing, and differs mainly in its starting and
finishing points. Because it is tied in the bight, its
starting point is absolutely secure and the final knot
can be tied with two ends. Ultimately, the choice
probably depends on whether you prefer the reef
knot or the clove hitch.
1 Put a bight in the middle of the line and pass it around the two poles.
Pass the ends through the bight to make a girth hitch.
