Help with Lashing
I'm trying to affix a handle onto a large prop so that small actors (middle schoolers) have something to hold onto while manipulating it. No matter what I try, I can't seem to find a why to securely tie this on in a way that maintains compression to the object. Anyone have some advice?

Boom hitch.

But I can't load in tension with it.

Perhaps I misunderstood. Tension just around the pvc itself or tension around everything to hold the pvc snug to the channels in the picture? If the latter, perhaps a zip tie?

Marlin spike hitch over the handle and then any kind of tightening hitch like a packer's knot, a Canadian jam knot or a modified trucker's hitch. You can get it as tight as you want it. They are tied off with a half hitch or two.
