How to Tie Knots


Tripod Lashing For Large Structures

  Lay the three spars on the ground pointing in alternate directions. Starting at the middle of the rope, weave around the spars a few times with each rope end. Tighten with two frapping turns in the spaces between spars. Finish with Square Knot and swing middle spar over.
  It may take a little practice to judge how tight the wraps should be made and still allow for the tripod to set up.
