There's been a lot of turnbuckle "issues" with them coming lose, etc. and I've seen people use 2 nuts, etc.  Here's my solution. 

 

I bought them at a rigging supply store and they weren't that expensive (maybe < $10 each).  They are high strength and I doubt they are coming loose!  There's a nut and a cotter pin to keep the bolt from coming off.

That's essentially what I use too. It's never come loose, although it is more work to put them on. I still check on them from time to time, but I doubt they ever come off.

That's what l use.  I double nut it and it does not move.  If they did ,it would still be hanging on the eye bolts.
