'''Diagonal lashing''' is a type of [[lashing]] used to bind | '''Diagonal lashing''' is a type of [[lashing]] used to bind spars 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. | ||
[[Bailing twine]] has sufficient strength for some lashing applications but [[rope]] should be used for joining larger poles and where supporting people sized weights. | [[Bailing twine]] has sufficient strength for some lashing applications but [[rope]] should be used for joining larger poles and where supporting people sized weights. | ||
