Default Trailer tie downs

I bought a new to me trailer and I need some ideas on how to tie atvs and misc items down. The trailer is a v noise 8' 6" wide by 16' long open flat bed. I'm looking at the e track. Looks like a good system. I just don't know how to lay it out. I'm also open to other options. Please post pictures. Thanks!!

Lots of different ways and if done right all will work. That said one of the most foolproof and safest is the wheel bonnets. They go over and secure the wheeka to the trailer and allow the suspension to do its thing. Far less risk of strap breakage, the only down side is they are the most expensive method of tie down. .so how much do you value your machine?

Have to agree on the wheel bonnets. The other item I use attaches to the handle bars and brings the straps down and away from the body. I've used this device on all my motorcycles and quads when I can find them in the garage. Below is a photo. They work great.
