For all you out there with slipping lashings. There is a really easy solution. Take any wood removal device and round/narrow the ends of the poles just enough to make a lip that the lashing can't slide past. 1/2 the width of the lashing rope should be more than enough. It should not change the strength much at all.
If your poles are square/rectangular then just round the corners a little.
That or skip the lashings all together. Drill a small, but adequate, sized hole near each end and run a rope through them and tie.
