In addition, it’s reliable when joining two ropes of different thickness, size, or material. However, in this case, the knot can be used for heavy loads and won’t slip under heavy tension. Like a square knot, a sheet bend joins two ropes. Watch this video to see how to tie a Taut-Line Hitch: A common use might be setting up a hammock or securing a load to a car to easily adjust the binding’s tightness. However, the loop formed using a taut-line hitch will not slip if put under tension. Somewhat similar to two half hitches, the taut-line hitch is also an adjustable loop-knot hitch that can be tied around bars or poles.

The standing end (or standing part) of a rope is the end not involved in making a knot.The working end of a rope is the end being used to make a knot.The place at which two or more loops bend is the elbow.The place at which two parts of a rope meet in a loop is the crossing point.A bight becomes a loop when two parts of a rope cross.The bight is any part of a rope between the ends or the curved section of a rope in a knot.
