I think that the tie-downs on all these flats, no matter the load, are too simplistic. But I can understand turning a blind eye, some centre-beam flats have a dozen or so tie straps a side, and we won't get started on the various chocks made from dunnage and spiked to the deck. I decided to 'fix' a lumber load on a flat once and have since always found other things to 'fix' instead!
