A tensioning tie down apparatus enables a securing member to intertwine through multiple apertures and gaps in a tensioning member to generate tension through the securing member, which helps securely tie down objects and restrict slippage of the securing member. A securing member has a first securing member end and a second securing member end. The securing member is configured to have sufficient tensile strength and resiliency to stretch and bend, which helps create tension on the securing member. The tension helps tie down an object into a secure position, while also inhibiting slippage. The tensioning member has a hook shaped mounting member that forms a mounting gap. An extension member extends from the mounting member. A base extends perpendicularly form the extension member. The base is defined by a plurality of apertures. A base shaft extends from the base to form a base gap. One intertwining configuration has the securing member looping around mounting gap, the base gap, the apertures, and the object.
