    I hate one in straps with a passion. I generally buy some of the 1 1/2 in or just use a regular 2 in strap for dunnage. I also cut them to length so I do not have a lot of tail to deal with and only use them for the one purpose.

    Cut up an oil jug to get square corners and slot them. Feed your strap through the slot to keep from losing them and the plastic will protect your straps on the edge.

    Find some discarded large fire hose. Cut to length and slide over the strap. They cushion well and they last forever.

    The bottom corners of the jug make great corner protectors for tarps too.

    Great idea. Fabricating a solution like this was going to be plan B if we couldn't find another way. Thank you.
