Horizontal or vertical airline track?

Horizontal or vertical airline track?
I want to install some airline track on the walls of my Intech trailer. I normally see track installed horizontally, but saw someone post this picture inside their trailer.
Maybe they did this to anchor more securely to the aluminum studs in the wall?
Which way is more versatile?

I think it depends on what you plan on securing with it. I have horizontal etrack secured at every stud. It holds 4 shoring beams and 16 tires and is pretty damn secure. PS that is not etrack in the picture, but Ltrack. More options for mounts on etrack, and lower profile, but both work.

Well, at this point I'm only thinking of securing an EZ up and maybe a bicycle. Ltrack (same as airline track?) should be strong enough. I like the smaller footprint of it also.
So when you install it horizontally on the walls, do you do two rows? How high from the floor?

airplane or L track is strong enough, heck it holds the seats on airplanes, and it looks nicer, but there’s not as many different accessories to tie stuff down.
My etrack is just one row, about 8 feet long on each side of the trailer, about 4’ high, so the tires end up sitting above the hood of my car.

Ok, so you have one horizontal and two vertical. So you basically do whatever you need to secure your specific items.
The only downside to that is if you sell it, the next owner might have different needs. I guess there's no universal way to do this that will work for everybody.

They are simply screwed in - if someone wanted to change them it would be simple.

may I suggest also powdercoating it the same color as the walls then it disappears
Run it vertical may give you more tie down options
To tie down s csr you want to use steel E track not aluminum airline track.
The aluminum starts to wear and the holes begin to elongate and the clips pop out
