Filipino Diagonal Lashing


Filipino Diagonal Lashing - A lashing used in lightweight construction work.



Start with the middle of the rope, tucking the running ends through the middle "loop" after going round both spars. Use the "loop" to pull the spars together.



Now proceed as for a diagonal lashing taking the running end round both spars, keeping both ends together.



Separate the ends and take frapping turns between the spars, pulling the rope tight as you do so.



Complete the frapping turns and finish off with a square knot
