Well it sure is Dan’l if you are incapable of making a hitch knot like what proper Drivers can do

They are “handkerchiefs” mate How about a couple of 30ft L X 28ft W in 15oz TCS Ripstop.

Dan’l are you suggesting you could carry an identical load to that in the shot only using Bungees to secure it all ? 
Cheers Dennis.
Hi Ropers & Sheeters, On Wednesday morning I received an email on my phone from my son asking for help after Storm Eleanor blew a heavy fence partially over at the bottom of his garden leaving it at a precarious angle of about 30o from the perpendicular, he had tried to pull it back himself but there was no way this could be achieved single handedly or even by two people. I gathered together some tackle, sledge hammer stakes and heavy timber plus plenty of lorry rope and a “gaevlick” an essential tool and drove down to his house on the outskirts of Carlisle. Although he had been a lorry man the traffic office was his scene but he did have knowledge of using ratchet straps. Any way I soon weighed up the situation and put a rope round the post lying over the most relayed the rope back to a small gate post a few yards back put in the first hitch with a good long loop and pulled it until the tension was well applied. I then added a second hitch as you do and with very little effort physically pulled the fence back to vertical but my anchor post was starting to move towards the fence due to the wet ground. I then used a second rope tie to the first anchor post and double hitched it back to the second post which pulled everything back into place all achieved in less than 10 minutes. Further along the fence it was still sagging so my son said he would use a light ratchet strap to pull that section back, after buggering about for a good few minutes trying to set it up I took it off him and used a light piece of polypropolene rope attached to the fence and relayed back to a stake I drove into the ground put a couple of hitches in it and Bob’s your uncle job done in no more than two minutes. It is about 45 years since I last fully roped and sheeted a wagon but I don’t appear to have lost my touch. If I had attempted to use straps I would still be mucking about trying to get them to work. Roll on better drier weather to dig out the fencing post bases and re-cement them back into the ground.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Well done Gerald, you obviously meant business taking your Gavelock wid you eh! Nowt like a few double hitches in the right place to pull a fence back. Just a temporary job like until the better weather arrives then you can put that Gavelock to use mekking some new post holes. But will your new fence stop a new turned out hull full of “stirks” on’t raj! Happy new year and all the best Dennis.

Weighed in at 7:30 yesterday morning m8 .
Come on Denz’l you must surely realise that the bungees are only for keeping the net tight !
I have often wondered how you secured a load using these new fangled ratchet straps, this load ain’t going nowhere, this lad obviously knows how to make a good job but who’s going tell him about his little mistake ■■

Automatic strap re-tensioning system, pal. You can’t beat technology!
