Why order a custom round bale net?

Ideal alternative if our standard sizes do not meet your specific needs
Choose the mesh size as well as the length and width down to the centimeter for a net perfectly suited to your setup

What size should you choose?

The dimensions of a round bale hay net depend on several factors:

The size of the round bale

The net should be at least 30 cm wider than the bale to slip it on easily. For example, for a 120 cm bale, choose a net with a 150 cm diameter.

The compression level of the hay

If the bales are loosely compressed, allow a 40 cm margin. For example, for a poorly compressed 120 cm bale, choose a 160 cm diameter net.

The consistency of bale sizes

If bale sizes vary significantly, choose a net suitable for the largest bales.

Nets are made using full mesh sizes, which may result in a dimensional variation of 1 to 3 cm in length and width. This construction ensures greater strength.

Which mesh size should you choose?

Mesh choice may vary depending on net shape, hay compression, and fiber length.

In a bag-style net, hay is generally loose
In a round bale net, hay is compressed

The feeding slowdown also depends on hay compression and fiber length:

- Hay compression: compressed hay is harder to grab than loose hay
- Fiber length: short fibers are harder to grab than long fibers

Outer mesh	Inner mesh	Color	Purpose
100 mm	90 mm	Green	Large mesh Reduces hay waste, helps animals get used to the net, no frustration for beginners For older horses or cattle
60 mm	50 mm	Green	Medium mesh Slightly slows consumption Helps animals transition to slow feeding Anti-waste
45 mm	35 mm	Camel	Small mesh For slow feeding For animals already used to hay nets May cause frustration at first Anti-waste ++
35 mm	25 mm	Green	Very small mesh For advanced slow feeding For animals very used to hay nets May cause frustration at first Suitable for goats and sheep Anti-waste +++

How to fit the hay bale?

Net taller than the bale: place the bale inside the net or pull the net over the bale, lift the sides, and attach them to a ceiling support.
Net the same height as the bale: place the bale inside or pull the net over it, then secure the bottom with a strap or bungee cord.

How do I wash my net?

The net can be cleaned in several ways:

Rinse with a garden hose
Wash in a home washing machine or laundromat
Soak for several hours in a bathtub or large container

Usage tips:

Keep the net elevated so the horse cannot get a hoof caught. Placing hay on a pallet or large tire prevents trampling and rotting. Nets with 100 mm mesh must not touch the ground and should be used in a feeder with a closed base.
In wet or muddy conditions, set up several feeding points to protect the ground.

The smaller the mesh, the slower the hay is taken in.

Mesh size (outer)		Purpose
100 mm	Very large mes	Limit hay waste, familiarisation with the net
60 mm	Large mesh	Consumption slows down, transition to slow feeding
45 mm	Small mesh	Introduction to slow feeding
35 mm	Very small mesh	Slow feeding intensification
Note: The size expressed is that of the outer mesh. To calculate the inner mesh, you must subtract 10mm.

The slow down of ingestion also depends on the level of hay compression and the length of the stalks.

For the same mesh, the distribution of hay will be different in a bag net and a round ball net.

In a net bag, usually hay is loose
In a round ball net, hay is compressed

- Hay compaction: hay compressed in a haystack will be harder to catch than hay loose in a bag

- Length of the strands: hay with short strand is more difficult to catch than hay with long strand

Tips :

- If your horses cannot all eat with the mesh installed, you can arrange several different mesh nets.

- Our bag nets are also available in double mesh with different size of mesh on each side.

If this is the first time you have put hay in a net and your horse is not used to it, he may be frustrated and can get angry. We advise you to gently accustom your horse to limit his frustration.

- Ruffle the hay out of the tufts of the mesh and leave some loose hay next to the nets.

- Choose a wide mesh net (60mm, 100mm) to promote a smooth transition.

Despite all the care taken in manufacturing, the net is a textile product that can be damaged by installation or use.

To repair the hole of your hay net, you can sew your stitches with a sharp needle of 1mm maximum and linen string of 0.3mm.
