    Luckily it was sand. It walked out in reverse with an excavator pulling back at the back of the trailer. No damages to anything other than tweaking my 20 year old light bar under my bumper. Life goes on.

    Admittedly, I don't know anything about Lumber. But since no one else has answered I will take a stab and we'll see what the others say...

    looking at the picture, it looks like you have 6 straps going over the top of this stack here, but only one belly strap. I would take one of those six and make it a belly strap if possible, but with my Limited knowledge that is the only thing I can think of?

    You asked... LOL

    Think you will be fine. May not be perfect, but the number of straps should keep everything in place.

    It rides fine, it’s more solid than it looks. I put a strap on all 4 corners of each stack (I know circles don’t have corners but you know what I mean), with each strap going up the inside, and down the outside with an angle on the outside (if that makes any sense...lol). This way each strap pulls down and outward away from each other at the same time.

    The thing about this plastic gas pipe is, it is very slippery so you cant just strap over the top because the strap will just slide off and it is a battle to keep them tight. My way is a bit tedious and it definitely requires some sketchy acrobatic moves... but once it’s done it stays tight and nothing moves.
