Ladder lashing al- lows for a quick and se- cure method for con- structing a ladder or for constructing a decking with evenly space decking pieces.
This form of lash- ing has several advan- tages over the tradi- tional floor lashing. Less material is re- quired because unlike floor lashing a space can be left between each piece of the deck- ing. Also, each rung is securely lashed in place by several loops of rope in much the same way as a square lashing; with the traditional floor lashing only a single loop of the rope holds each end of the decking in place, there- fore if one piece loos- ens, the entire deck loosens.
The ladder lash- ing has two forms; left and right, each is a mir-
