LADDER LASHING: STEP 1: Lay an overhand loop over each side railso that the running end of each loop is to theoutside.
Ladder lashing al-lows for a quick and se-cure method for con-structing a ladder or forconstructing a deckingwith evenly spacedecking pieces.
This form of lash-ing has several advan-tages over the tradi-tional floor lashing.Less material is re-quired because unlikefloor lashing a spacecan be left betweeneach piece of the deck-ing. Also, each rung issecurely lashed in placeby several loops of ropein much the same wayas a square lashing;with the traditionalfloor lashing only asingle loop of the ropeholds each end of thedecking in place, there-fore if one piece loos-ens, the entire deckloosens.
The ladder lash-ing has two forms; leftand right, each is a mir-ror image of the other.
Comments:
START: The ladder lashing is started by using aclove hitch stopped with two half hitches tosecure a rope to the top end of each rail.
------ clove hitch ---------two half hitches----
STEP 3: Pull the running part side of each over-hand loop behind and to the outside of eachrail.
-----><-----
STEP 2: Place a rung across the rails so that thestanding part of each overhand loop is over theend of the rung and the running part of eachoverhand loop is under the rung.

STEP 7: Place an overhand loop over each endof the rung to form a half hitch around eachend of the rung.

STEP 9: Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each addi-tional rung.
END: Finnish the lashing by tying a clove hitcharound each rail so that the clove hitch is di-rectly under the bottom rung.

STEP 5: Work each rope until it is tightenedaround the rung and the rung is in its desiredposition.
