Hay-Stay Hanging Knotless Hay Net

We are pleased to offer our latest addition to our comprehensive collection of hay nets. These exceptional wall-mounted nets provide an innovative approach to the feeding and management of your equine and livestock. For many, the daily task of hanging hay nets can become quite burdensome. The process of untying knots can be both frustrating and time-consuming, particularly when wearing gloves. Our wall-mounted hay nets offer a practical solution to this challenge. Dimensions: 1.6m Wide (Mouth) x 1.0m High / 5'3" Wide (Mouth) x 3'3" High Holds: 1 full small bale of hay / 2 string small bales, or 10- 30kg/22-66lbs of hay. Net Colour: Black Includes: 2 x 8mm/ ⅓" carabiner clips and a length of rope attached to the two top ends of the net for securing to your fence, rail or tree. Attached to the netting flap that secures the hay inside the net are 4 x green hay lock clips, so horses are unable to stick their noses into the net and eat the hay. Material: Super soft premium netting - 5mm/ 3/16" thick, comprised of high strength PP (polypropylene) 240ply, which is the strongest available on the market. These hay nets are more of a semi-permanent hay net, in that they are best used by mounting along a stable wall, yard or fence rail, or even in between 2 objects like 2 trees. These wall hanging hay nets can be securely mounted in place with the included super strong carabiner clips which are located at the two top ends of the hay net with a short length of rope to assist with tying. They are best utilised by bringing the hay to the net and filling on site. This can save considerable time, as opposed to going out to the yard or paddock, untying your hay net, bringing it back to the hay shed, filling it, then taking it back to the paddock, yard or stable, to tie up for your animals to eat from. Although they are capable of holding a full small bale, due to our unique square shaped holes, it doesn’t matter if you have one biscuit/ flake of hay in this net, or half a small bale, your animals will still be able to graze from the hay net. Unlike diamond shaped holes that collapse down on each other as the hay net empties, leading to frustration for the horse when they get to the end. Mounting Height: As with all hay nets, please ensure your Hay-Stay is mounted high enough off the wall, fence, or rail that your horse cannot catch a shoe or hoof in the netting, particularly if your horse is shod or known to paw. We recommend mounting at a height that keeps the net's lowest point at least 1-2 feet/ 30-60cm off the ground, adjusted to suit your own horse's height and habits. Filling your Hay Net: Once your wall hanging hay net has been hung and positioned using the 2 carabiners and attached rope, simply bring the hay to the hay net, undo the 4 green hay lock clips that secure the top flap down, open the netting flap, and fill the hay net with hay. The super wide mouth (1.6m/ 5'3") makes it exceptionally easy to fill. It's easier to fill if the net is tied up against a solid object, though still easy enough to fill if hanging between two objects. Once complete, bring the netting flap back over the mouth of the hay net and secure the 4 green hay lock clips. There is no drawstring to use with these hanging hay nets, just clips, so filling is quick and easy. The 4 included green hay lock clips are made from a soft plastic with an internal wire, so they're easy to squeeze open. Before first use, gently pull the two sides of each clip apart to loosen them, as this makes clipping and unclipping quicker and easier. Over time the clips may slowly shrink back toward their original position, so you may need to repeat this every so often.
