No tie downs or sides. My ratchet straps fit around the 1" outer frame so that's going to be my tie down. And for sides...I've never seen the advantage of having sides since the ratchet straps hold everything in place pretty well. The only thing I might do is add one more 1/2" cross bar to reinforce the longitudinal 1/2" bars, plus, where they cross will provide another tie down point.
