I have always been "knot challenged". For about $15 I got a set of nylon
tiedown straps with vinyl coated hooks from Costco. Set of 4. Two long and
two short. The long ones work great for the wing tiedowns on my 182 short
one for the tail. Worked great during a tropical storm in LaPaz.

Only if they have closed hooks. I had my plane bust loose at Oshkosh the
first year because I used tie downs with open hooks. Just takes some slackening
of the rope to get them to pop out of the eye.
