It wrecked the bed too!!! Mind you I've always been fussy about proper tying on. I did a bit of transport work in the seventies and the boss said ''always secure your own loads, then you've only yourself to blame!''. However on that occasion the ropes failed I've never used rope since, just good straps with lever wedge retainers. Very easy to use and they don't come loose like ratchets can sometimes. Like you I don't trust ropes and always use ratchet straps, thats how the roof rack made it back from Basingstoke - even on the motorway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can work out who it is that will be getting blinded I can start at the back and work my way through the convoy to the front - might need to throw a few guide dogs in the boot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
