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.

Hi group
I need some basic instruction.... I've been noticing tie down ropes.
The
knots folks use are all over the map. Is there a basic "best" knot for
tying
down the bird? We're looking at windy weather here in the NE this
weekend.
The ropes here on the Vineyard are poly-something.
A link to a picture would be nice.
