lashing methods

Lashing methods are techniques used to secure, stabilize, or reinforce items, often with ropes, straps, or cords. They involve specific patterns and tensioning to ensure the load doesn’t shift or fall during transport or storage. Common methods include square lashings, which form a strong, stable connection, and diagonal lashings, which prevent movement in multiple directions. Proper lashing distributes force evenly, maintains the integrity of the load, and enhances safety. These techniques are widely used in lifting, shipping, construction, and outdoor activities to ensure items are securely fastened.
