A dunnage tie-down arrangement for preventing upward movement of an inflatable dunnage bag which is interposed between the divided sections of a freight load within a shipping space. One or more tensioned metallic straps have their proximate ends anchored to the load section on one side of the division and their free ends disposed in overlapping sealed relationship with respect to the free ends of corresponding straps which are similarly anchored to the load section on the other side of the division. The thus joined straps bridge the load division above the dunnage bag for hold-down purposes. A method of installing such a dunnage tie-down arrangement which involves a particular sequential placement of the unit items of the load in the shipping space in order to facilitate application of the straps to the load sections and to one another.
