Wood on the trailer is usually mounted to the trailer with a few self tapping screws. The way you secured only to the wood, means the machine is fastened to the trailer with a few self tapping screws. Anchor point should always be mounted to the framework of the trailer.
Thank you for your video. I will be purchasing my first utility trailer 6x12 soon. It doesn’t come with tie downs. I could weld lugs, but I don’t want to mar the new trailer yet lol. This idea is great, with backing plates.

You need to make sure the wood you're mounting to is actually going to stay on the trailer if needed. Most are only held on on the ends
Seems like for as cheap as they are, backing plates are a no brainer
We agree. They provide the extra stability that the d-ring needs when tightening a strap or chain.
