Clove Hitch

A clove hitch is a type of knot. Along with the bowline and the sheet bend, it is often considered one of the most essential knots.[1] A clove hitch is two successive half-hitches around an object. It is most effectively used as a crossing knot. It can be used as a binding knot, but is not particularly secure in that role.[2] A clove hitch made around the line itself is known as either two half-hitches or buntline hitch, depending on whether the half-hitches progress away from or towards the object.

Round Lashing

The round lashing is a type of lashing also known as vertical lashing.
Materials: Two spars, 15 - 20 feet (6.1 m) of rope.
Comments: Vital to the efficiency of this lashing is the tightness of the lashing itself. Use of a lashing stick is advised.

Square Lashing

Square lashing is a type of lashing knot used to bind poles together. Large structures can be built with a combination of square and diagonal lashing, with square lashing generally used on load bearing members and diagonal lashing usually applied to cross bracing. If any gap exists between the poles then diagonal lashing should be used.
Square lashing steps (see image at right);
Begin with a clove hitch on the vertical pole beneath the horizontal pole and tuck the loose end under the wrapping.
