Scaffold knot (½ Double Fisherman)

The Scaffold Knot is often incorrectly referred to as a Barrel Knot.

Use:

• As a stopper knot in the end of a rope.
• When tied with a loop it forms the best cow's tail knot in terms of reducing Peak Impact Force (PIF).

Strength loss: approximately 30–35%.

Always ensure knots are correctly dressed and set before use.
