It is usually applied to cross-bracing where the poles do not initially touch, but may by used on any poles that cross each other at a 45° to 90° angle. Large, semipermanent structures may be built with a combination of square lashing, which is stronger, and diagonal lashing.<br /> <br /> Baling twine has sufficient strength for some lashing applications but rope should be used for joining larger poles and where supporting people sized weights.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Steps ==<br /> [[File:Lashing-Diagonal-Steps.png]]<br /> <br /> <br /> #Begin with a timber hitch around the juncture of the two poles.<br /> #Make three turns in each direction - tightening steadily throughout the turns.<br /> #Make two frapping turns, tightening the joint as much a possible.<br /> #To end, make two half hitches<br /> #Cinch the half hitches into a clove hitch<br /> <br /> <br /> == Videos ==<br /> {{#ev:youtube|A9QP8ZM2Eec}}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> To bind spars or poles together that cross each other at a 45° to 90° angle<br /> <br /> <br /> == Sources and References ==<br /> *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lashing_(ropework)<br /> *http://platformeight.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/21.jpg<br /> *http://bsar.org/files/Diagonal-lashing.jpg<br /> *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9QP8ZM2Eec</div>
