What is your preferred tie-down method/device for covering cargo in a truck bed (paracord, etc.)?

Paracord for sure. Met someone once with an eyepatch; he forgot that hooks adorn the ends of those stretchy rubber tie-downs, and there's no better way to make an accidental slingshot guaranteed to aim for your face when they break or even slip. Climbing ropes also work fine, if looped through every grommet eyehole in the front end of the tarp. For luck, all of them around the perimeter next. Then, a bed-sized X of rope over the tarped 'n tied load, and you're done. Won't fly off and blind tailgaters, who will doubtless sue you for THEIR stupidity and call it YOUR negligence.

Hooks, ball on hitch, clevis, tow ring or feed the one end around object and back through loop

I was looking for the same thing. Decided to use a tarp and bungee cords. Hope this helps

You could try it. If it doesn't work, you'll have a great double sided tape for other tasks! I suppose it depends if the truck bed liner is really bowing away from the truck body. I wouldn't rely on tape to pull in and hold back a bowing truck bed liner. If the liner is straight and you just want to have it snug agains the body, this stuff would probably work in temperate climates. Good luck!!

There is a aluminum bar that engages into clips in the siderails and sits at the top edge of your tailgate. You can disengage the bar from the clips and roll it towards the front of the bed, (wrapping the tonneau around it as you do so). You end up with a bar wrapped up with tonneau that you can keep rolled up by wrapping strap (s) around it straps are attached to the framework that comes with the tonneau cover

I use 30gal tie bags with Bag Buddy. Love this product. tip...Stand on one side of frame when loading and unloading bag. Pull other side into you toload or unload bag. Drop bag, pull tie, and remove bag. I use a little red toy wagon to move leaf bags from one place to another.

I just hook the 4 cargo net corners to the corner brackets in my 1998 Tacoma bed. To engage more hooks, I suppose I would run a rope, wire, etc around the bed's inside perimeter, and hook cargo net to that.

This might work for strapping down tarps if you always use the same tarp on the same flatbed with the same load. The cord is of good quality and should tolerate weather well. But the logistics of having a permanent cord looped through grommets to attach to tie-down hooks would be slow and hard to adjust. I should probably mention that it is hard to tie the cord to itself (like using a square knot to tie two ends together). It is best to use a crimping tool to crimp a metal staple to hold the two ends together.

Personally, I use para cord and a single waking pole or a 3.5ft stick. There are some great ways to configure a tarp like this.. one that is nearly completely enclosed.

Harbor Freight has a good kit w/ rings & twine, but I folded mine in 1/2 and used a wooden rod @ the top & bottom. I just hung the top & strung the bottom. I also stapled some to a wooden door, worked fine. This is all outdoor if you didn't know.

I used the x-cargo 15 from Sears. I think most roof carriers have standard hole or clamp placement so that they fit most crossbars.

I wondered the same, but once I got it I realized that because you can set this up in any shape and configuration, getting a premade cover for it didn't make sense. You can certainly use a grommeted tarp and attach it with zip ties.

I chose and use a Thule soft-sides cargo carrier, but you could use their hard shell cargo carriers as well. You have to attach the cargo carrier to the roof rack, of course. Hope this information about what I have done helps.

Im assuming you mean Parallel down the center of the cargo area. If so, I was going to attempt that very Idea (With two of them, one down the middle and one to keep them out of the front. The design does not seem to restrict that sort of functionality

We usually use zip ties for attaching things under the car. They are versatile and don't rust.

In my car I just tuck the hook under the seat as best as I can. What I found is that the hook will catch very slightly to stop the cover from being completely removed from the seat when my larger dog moves around. In my husband's truck, there are actual anchors installed on the seats (which I assume are there to secure cargo) so we use those to keep the cover in place when we are in his truck. I have found between the seat headrest straps and the elastic straps, the cover stays in place very well without the need for additional anchoring although it is nice to have the additional ability to secure the cover in the truck.
