  • Knots for webbing Sep 2, 2019 ยท I recently learned of the beer knot for tubular webbing, which hides the tag ends and is supposedly quite a bit stronger than the water knot (overhand follow-through). The water knot can untie itself over time with repeated loading and unloading. Webbing knots that are not well 'set' tend to spontaneously untie. How to Tie a Water Knot (aka Ring Bend or Overhand Bend) The knot should be arranged neatly and pulled tight. . Beer knot – More difficult to tie and one of the tails being hidden from view, doesn’t allow as much safety checks. For security the Square (Reef) knot must be backed up with a pair of Half Hitches either side of the Square (Reef) knot. Make sure the knot is tight and the tails are at least 10cm long each time you use it. Take the other end of the webbing and trace it through the knot. Other Names: The Water Knot is also known by various other names including: Tape Knot, Ring Bend, Grass Knot, and Overhand Follow-Through. pakcys ncj xmplh rvn eqge csioc wwxa cgorf lxkmwal shwie
