An alternative method is known as the '''Japanese square lashing'''. The Japanese square lashing is similar to the standard square lashing in appearance, but in fact is much faster and easier to use. One drawback to consider is that it is difficult to estimate how much rope is needed, which can lead to needlessly long working ends. | An alternative method is known as the '''Japanese square lashing'''.

'''Diagonal lashing''' is a type of [[lashing]] used to bind [[spar]]s or poles together, to prevent racking. 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. | '''Diagonal lashing''' is a type of [[lashing]] used to bind [[spar]]s or poles together, to prevent racking.

Used for tying spars or [[Tipi#Construction|pole]]s together when they must subsequently be swung apart slightly in a [[scissors]] motion (shear legs). Shear lashings may also be used in place of [[round lashing]]s to join spars of unequal thickness in a straight line. | Used for tying spars or [[Tipi#Construction|pole]]s together when they must subsequently be swung apart slightly in a [[scissors]] motion (shear legs).
