    That's the plan maybe i wasn't clear. 4 straps over the top hooked with a ratchet to one side of the trailer and a binder on the other side. My straps have chain links on the ends so I figured I can get it tighter. I don't trust straps unless they're on a winch unless I have no other choice.

    Portable will do fine. If you have a winch bar stick it in the ratchet and you can get another couple clicks out of it.

    Ya,put a strap around the bottom.
    If that's not long enough,put 2 together. That way you can really get it tight with the 2 rachets.

    Let's see what happens. Turns out it wasn't a crate but two wooden cages

    I see broken tarp straps. Hopefully non snapped back on you. Those suckers can take out an eye faster than you can blink said eye
