Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

I've got about 100 reclaimed S-hooks I've used like that. Never liked how hard they are to keep under tension and on the rub rail when snugging the rope up.

 

I go to the bottom of the bed rail. Hook stays in place, rope pulls against the bed and gets a good seal.

It you have T mount sliding winches, that may not work as well.

 

I've got double L sliders, but I think it might work out with a bit of hook bending.

 

I like a good polyester rope. Polyester will not stretch like nylon or most other types.

 

I pull a step deck and carefully stand on the bar to tighten straps every time. I don't have a ton of upper body strength, so this helps me use my whole body strength

 

Not a good idea.

How about getting to the point? secure your load cover it up so its protected against the weather and you'll be ok
