Cargo on a Bed Cover

Does anyone tie down cargo on their bed cover? I've got a Fold-a-Cover G4 elite, and would like to tie down coolers and other stuff on top. Does anyone carry stuff on their bed cover? If so, how do you strap it down?

Ideal set up would be like the outside tie downs on the old 80's Toyota pickups.

 

Anybody carry stuff on their bed cover?

 

Should have gotten a Diamondback.

 

I probably wouldn't do much on a folding one....maybe a mattress or something but idk about more than that...

 

Fold A Cover website states it can support 450 pounds of distributed weight. Would think a cooler and some other lighter items could easily be supported by it, just need a way to strap it down.

Even if you just used the mounting bracket as a place to attach tie downs. It would be perfect for what you speak of

 

I used to have an extang solid gold that I'd stand and sit on regularly. It was very strong and I wouldn't have and reservations about caring stuff on top of it. I wouldn't put anything too heavy on it because you'd have to factor in the extra weight from things like pot holes. If it's a folding cover you can't put tie downs on top because it would keep it from folding properly, but you could mount done to the outside edges, and just don't go crazy with the tie downs. You could hold a cooler fine though.
