This is an alternative to the diagonal lashing that is suitable
for use in light constructions. If you have any doubt about
its usefulness or will be subjecting it to a large strain
you should take the time to tie a proper diagonal lashing
instead.

Step by Step Guide
Darren Dowling
Start with the middle of the rope, tucking the running ends
through the middle "loop" after going round both
spars. Use the "loop" to pull the spars together.
Now proceed as for a diagonal lashing taking the running
end round both spars, keeping both ends together
Separate the ends and take frapping turns between the spars,
pulling the rope tight as you do so.
Complete the frapping turns and finish off with a reef knot.
