Dan,

Excellent idea, didn't thing of that. I actually have one of them I keep
right on my portable dolly. One question, what did you do about length when
the span exceeded the length of the strap?

  Al,

  I just used a ratchet strap when doing the same thing. You have to be
  careful because the hooks on the end of the strap can dig into the deck
  boards, but it worked like a charm.

  A ratchet strap is just a long piece of webbing with a ratcheting
  mechanism that you can use to shorten the length of the webbing. You can
  generate some pretty serious force with one.

  Later.
