Single ratchet strap on front and rear and parking brake on. I've never had any issues.

4 points of attachment to secure any load. Two rear/ two front angled out to each d-ring, or criss crossed if the d-ring is straight in front of the attachment point of the load.
On my flat bed I use 4 ratchet straps, 1 over each tire to d-rings directly in front and behind each tire to secure my golf car.

Shoot, I just unloaded mine so can't get a pic.

I use 4 straps, 2 crossed in the front from the frame to tie downs. For the rear I strap to the rear cross member to the tie downs. It's round no doesn't hurt the straps.

Same here. I have a ratchet strap that's about 2" wide. I run it across the floorboard of the cart right where the panel is underneath the seat. Set the parking brake and its never moved.

+1 on four straps. I know people do it with less, but if your one strap (or one of the two) come loose and it starts moving around, things get damaged really fast. Ratchet straps and a few minutes of your time are cheaper than repairs.

If you use four straps, and one breaks or loosens up, it's usually not the end of the world.
