The Pile Hitch is a very neat and practical hitch for securing objects to a post. It is ideal as a temporary fixing. The big advantage of this hitch is that it is very easy to tie and release quickly.
To Tie a Pile Hitch:
Wrap a looped working end around a post close to its top.
Pass the working end around the post under the standing part and hook it over the top of the post.
Pull firmly on the standing part to tighten the knot.
To release the rope, simply slide the knot off the end of the post.
