I tie a variety of stuff to my roof, so I use varying levels of obsessive strapping depending on the item.
Roof bag designed to clip to the roof bars: I just add the single red strap running all the way around through the car doors. Big long stuff (large ladder, EZ-up canopy, or lumber): lash it to the rack, then do the single red strap all the way around. In the future I'll probably use the front tie-down points too (the "TopTies"), but I only bought the TopTies recently (when I was planning the yurt adventure and reading horror stories of wind ripping yurts and roof racks off of cars). Seems like a good thing to have for making sure the wind can't get under it and turn it into a sail. Hexayurt: STRAP ALL THE THINGS TO ALL THE THINGS.
