Polypropylene halyard – Braided core

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.

Simply select the net of your choice, indicate your mesh and dimensions and the price will be displayed automatically!

Anti UV treatment

To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.

Better resistance to weather

Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.

Longer life

The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.

Polypropylene is the most economical and lightweight fibre. It has an excellent quality/price ratio for uses that do not require a rope with a high performance mechanical strength.

Polypropylene is floating and hydrophobic. It can be in permanent contact with water without degrading itself. It is resistant to moisture.

Density: 0.91

Polypropylene fiber has good UV resistance but it is still inferior to polyester and nylon.

For a better outdoor life, make sure that your polypropylene rope is treated against UV. All our polypropylene ropes are.

Polypropylene is resistant to mites, bacteria, strong acids and alkalis and ordinary solvents. It is sensitive to aromatic compounds. It dissolves in chlorinated solvents at high temperatures.

Historically, "halyard" is the maritime name for a braided rope generally used to hoist a barge, horn or sail.

Now, the name "halyard" has been generalized to all types of synthetic braided cord and its field of application has been extended to industry, events and crafts.

The core of a halyard is the cord inside the braid that allows it to be round and reinforced. Independent of the outer braid, it can be removed manually. The core can be braided or parallel.

Beyond its material (polyester, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene), a halyard is defined by the braiding of its core.

• Halyard with braided core
• Halyard with parallel core
• Hollow halyard (without core)

A pre-stretched cord has undergone a factory pre-stretch process to greatly limit its elongation during use.

Thermofixing is a pre-stretch performed at 100°C to improve compaction and stabilization of the fibers. This process improves the mechanical properties and life of a rope. It is reserved for high-end ropes for demanding uses.
