Hay net - Round bales

Mesh (mm): 60
Diameter x Height (m): 1,80 x 1,60

€178.90

Designed to slip over hay bales, our round bale hay net can be placed on the ground or suspended in a shelter, a bell feeder, or a hay rack. Knotless, very flexible, and very soft, our net will not irritate your horses’ gums. It is odorless, rot-proof, and highly resistant to wear.
Available for all round bale sizes with small or large mesh.

The round bale hay net can also be suitable for square bales. Be sure to choose sufficiently large dimensions so it can be fitted on easily.

To assist with closing, each net is supplied with a 7 m braided rope (included free of charge).

Warning: the 100 mm mesh net must be used with a closed-base container (hay rack, bell feeder, pallet box, trough) so that the equine cannot get a hoof caught in the mesh. For safety reasons, always choose mesh sizes smaller than the size of the horses’ hooves.

Follow the guide: Hay net

Choosing the right dimensions:

The choice of dimensions for a round bale hay net depends on several factors:

The size of the round bale

The net must be at least 30 cm wider than the bale to make it easy to fit on. For example, for a 130 cm bale, choose a net with a diameter of 150 cm.

The level of hay compression

If the hay bales are poorly compressed, allow a margin of 40 cm to fit the net easily. For example, for a poorly compressed 120 cm bale, choose a net with a diameter of 160 cm.

The consistency of bale size

If the bale size varies significantly, choose a net suitable for the largest bales.

Here is the reference table showing the correspondence between your bale size and the net size to choose

Net diameter x height	Height	Maximum bale diameter
1.60 x 1.40 m	Short-height net (covers only the height of the bale)	1.30 m
1.80 x 1.60 m		1.50 m
2 x 1.60 m		1.70 m
1.60 x 1.90 m	Long-height net (fully covers the bale)	1.30 m
1.80 x 1.90 m		1.50 m
2 x 2 m		1.70 m

For easy use, the net must always be larger than your bales. It is better for your net to be slightly too large than too small.

Fitting the hay bale:

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

Advice:

Keep the net raised so that the horse cannot get a hoof caught. Hay placed on a pallet or on a large tire will prevent the horse from stepping on it and the hay from rotting. The 100 mm mesh net must not touch the ground. It must be placed in a hay rack with a closed base.
In wet weather and muddy ground, set up several feeding points to preserve the ground.

Washing the net:

The quality and flexibility of your hay net may be affected by certain external factors such as horse saliva and/or prolonged use in bad weather and dirt. We therefore recommend regular washing.

You have several washing options while preserving its quality:

- Clean with a garden hose

- Wash at home in a washing machine or at a laundromat:

Maximum temperature 40°C
Add a natural washing product directly into the drum: sodium bicarbonate (for a sock-style net, use the equivalent of 2 small espresso cups)
Add a natural fabric softener in the “softener” compartment: white vinegar (for a sock-style net, use the equivalent of 2 small espresso cups)

- Soak for several hours in a bathtub or large container:

Add a natural washing product to the container: sodium bicarbonate (for a sock-style net, use the equivalent of 2 small espresso cups)
Add a natural fabric softener to the container: white vinegar (for a sock-style net, use the equivalent of 2 small espresso cups)

Once your net is dry, please smell it. If you notice that the net has not fully softened and a hay odor remains, you can wash it again.

Our hay nets are made from very flexible and very soft yarns to protect horses’ gums. Their robust, UV-treated, rot-proof yarn provides excellent long-term durability.

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.

You can order a custom-made hay net directly from our website. All of our custom-made hay nets are available online.

Nous utilisons depuis quelques années les filets à foin (en forme de sac, de nappe et pour round). Les chevaux se sont immédiatement habitués aux filets (contrairement à d’autres marques qu’ils boudent car les cordes sont plus rêches). Les filets sont résistants. Je les recommandes!

au bout d'une semaine d'utilisation (et avec des conditions climatiques franchement pas génial) le filet n'a pas bougé et a toujours l'air comme neuf.
