[A bones]

I used to be involved with long haul shipping, machinery and the like. I would prefer bolts as mentioned above. Although I see no harm in using both.

The problem with banding or strapping is one: if finish surface is important there is need to use padding ( angle board ), Two: during long distance there occurs the need to retighten. This due to vibrations caused by the road. ( In a Heavy truck, the road gets rough at times ) Banding becomes slack allowing for more movement and chafing, or failure.
