In NPCC context, lashings are heavily used in pioneering projects. there are 5 main types of lashing, each of which is designed to do a particular job depending upon what use you put the poles to.

​

No matter what lashing you decide upon, it is important that you tie it correctly, neatly, and securely;

• Make sure that all the turns are tightened as you go

• Ensure that there is no overlapping in the turns

• Ensure minimal gaps in the lashings

• Ensure sufficient turns and frapping are made

  • Frapping binds the rounds together, adding more security to the lashing

• Keep the lashing neat by tucking in the ends of hitches
