There must be no gaps in the load! If there are gaps, suitable blocking material. Or you must follow the guideline for unblocked loads and use extra straps. The same rules for lashing angles apply as for unblocked loads.
This guideline has been developed by a qualified engineer using the tie-down lashing tables in the NTC Load Restraint Guide 2018. It has been produced to provide assistance and guidance only, and compliance with the law and relevant standards is your responsibility. It remains your responsibility to ensure load restraint methods are appropriate for the individual circumstances.
