I guess ratchet straps do the job, but think about the kind of damage that a chute falling off a trailer at 70 mph could do on the interstate if a ratchet failed. That's more liability than I care for. Call me conservative if you want.

This made me giggle, because my husband said THE EXACT SAME THING!!!! We have been looking at options for something to hook the chute outside, and when I read that I thought it sounded good. Anyway, he looked at me like I was crazy and said what you just wrote, too much liability.

My chute brackets and stall panel brackets (two different things) were either about 300 or 500 (i forget), but they work great. The chute is much easier to physically load onto one of their brackets than just strapping one horizontally to a trailer (which I did for years).
