Lashing Instructions
Clove Hitch

Used to begin square and tripod/sheer lashing
Timber Hitch
As
well as being used to start a diagonal lashing, a timber hitch can be used as a
temporary knot when you need to drag, tow or lift a log or pole. (see second
diagram)
Square Lashing
Ø Begin with a clove hitch underneath the
spar to be supported (a).
Ø Wrap the two ends of the rope together so
that the short end is trapped and the clove hitch cannot come undone. Wrap the rope first over one spar, then under
the other, pulling tight all the time (b).
Ø On the second turn round, go inside the
previous turn of rope on the top but outside underneath the spars (c).
Ø After three turns, apply three frapping
turns which pull on the rope turns already made, making them even tighter (d).
Ø Finish off with a clove hitch on the
opposite spar to the one on which you started (e)
Diagonal lashing
Ø Begin
with a timber hitch to draw the spars together (a).
Ø Pull
the knot at right angles and wrap three times around the spars, keeping the
rope tight all the time.
Ø Wrap
three more turns, this time over the timber hitch (c).
Ø Apply
three frapping turns to pull the lashing tight (d).
Ø Finish
off with a clove hitch (d).

Method
·
The
two side frames are built first using 4 x 1.2 m staves for each. The seat support bars need to be 0.45m (18”)
up from the bottom of the uprights ( a ).
·
Next,
join the side frames using 4 x 0.9m (3ft) staves.
·
Another
0.9m stave is lashed to the seat support 0.2m (8”) in front of the back tie.
· Lash 2 x 1.2m staves in place to support the back of the seat.
· Lash 2 x 1.2m staves in place to support the back of the seat.
·
Use
the remaining 0.9m (3ft) staves in place to form the seat and back rest.
· If necessary, stabilize by lashing some
diagonal bracing between the back legs.
