For suicides I always threw an x strap over the front of it after chaining it down. I also keep all my chains tight together, I seen in another picture here of the chains all being spaced a pocket apart. I never liked doing that. It made a funky tarp job and I like to keep as much downward force as possible.
For eye to the sky, I always used 5 straps on each. 4 for cross strapping 2 parallel, and 1 down the middle. I do that for all coils. I've never seen more than 3 eye to the sky on an open deck and I never got lazy with the middle one. -
