How to Tie the Double Floor Lashing

This lashing is useful when building any kind of raised surface for a: platform, deck, raft, table, bench, chair, or Chippewa kitchen. scoutpioneering... The lashing can be effectively tightened by frapping a couple of times between the docking poles and the stringers.

Getting ready to show the boys a Chippewa Kitchen and this will help immensely with the "table". Thanks for the refresher...great work Mr. Green

I agree with eagledove, keeping the rope to inside and simply lashing loops is brilliant. No need to pull the entire length thru each time. Great job Larry!!!

[@eagledove9]

Keeping the long end of the rope to the inside - great. I just practiced lashing some stuff together, and I'm making a little table, for the first time, and my strings were all over the place, and I was dragging a big ball of string from one place to another. Keeping it on one side, and then just looping a bit of it, or I guess that might even be a 'bight,' that is very ergonomic.

Great tutorial! You're awesome. Question: I'd heard rope should be wet before lashing. Do you agree? Any insight one way or the other? Thanks again!

Great video demo! Thank you! I can see many uses for this in my future.

Thnxs I've been looking for this 👍🇺🇸

[@superjoeworld8042]

Great video! Thanks! Can you offer any suggestions on how to obtain spars? My troop just doesn't seem to have the time or wood to strip and convert to spars. I'd love to do more lashing projects, but this seems to be one of our biggest hurdles in doing so.

Its true thanks giving video

[@TemplarX2]

This will consume an insane amount rope no?

Anybody joined the 17th Scout Jamboree???

[@sohsonghen8218]

it is very loose...

[@larrygreen1821]

Just a demo. Keep pulling tight as you go.

[@morehumorehu4861]

Lose yeah! Just progressively toggle and pull. Another tip, if time allows, saw, chop or carve out wedge shapes in the support logs and place the cross logs in before binding.

Another way to really tighten up this approach is to frap once or twice around all the wrappings! This solidly and securely tightens things up!
