Amarre diagonal

Amarre diagonal

El amarre diagonal es un tipo de amarre usado para amarrar palos juntos, para evitar que se caigan juntos. Generalmente, se aplica a los palos cruzados donde los palos no tocan inicialmente, pero pueden ser usados en cualquier palo que se cruza entre sí a un ángulo de 45° a 90°. Las estructuras grandes y semipermanentes pueden ser construidas con una combinación de amarres cuadrados, que son más fuertes, y los amarres diagonales.

Bailing twine has sufficient strength for some lashing applications but rope should be used for joining larger poles and where supporting people sized weights.

Diagonal lashing steps (see image at right);

1. Begin with a timber hitch around the juncture of the two poles.
2. Make three turns in each direction - tightening steadily as you go.
3. Make two frapping turns, tightening the joint as much a possible.
4. To end, make two half hitches
5. Cinch the half hitches into a clove hitch

A lashing stick can be used to safely tighten the joint. Strength will be improved if the first turn is 90° to the timber hitch and if care is taken to lay the rope turns parallel with no crossings.
