While it is not a securement, it works to change the load from pieces to a package. it is like banding 4 pieces together. This changes the securement requirements as well.
The benefits are worth the extra straps. It squeezes the whole load together. Keeping pressure on all the pieces. -

I started doing this like 10 years ago. A few yards I used to go to in Texas and Oklahoma are now requiring that this be done -
But it doesn't change securement requirements, you have to have enough tiedowns for half the static load and one tiedown for every ten feet or fraction thereof. Regardless if the pieces are tied together or simply stacked on the trailer. I've been doing this 18 years and never had a problem. -
How is load isolation differant than pass side - choke - driverside? Granted sometimes a choke wont tightin all the pipe causing youvto need to choke more than one strap but it still bundles for a more sucure load. Btw anyone try those "load chokers" those metal C ring things out of austraila?

And could someone provide some guidelines on which methods add to your WLL aggregate, and which do not?
Thanks!!
