Double Sheet Bend

The Double Sheet Bend is one of if not the best way to join to ropes of different diameter and works equally as well with ropes of similar diameter. You can learn how to tie a double sheet bend in less than two minutes.

Here at Bottom Up Boat we prefer the Double Sheet Bend over the Single Sheet bend, the two loops around the bight give it key advantages over the single sheet bend. The two loops make the knot more secure before the knot has been put under load and easier to untie as the double loops cause the knot to tighten on the bight rather than the loop wedging itself at the top of the bend.

While we prefer the double sheet bend it is always hand to have the single, single loop around the bight results in the knot getting extremly tight and hard to untie after load is appliec but works well under low loads a a tempory join in your ropes.
