Hay Nets for Round Bales

To turn loose hay into a round bale, a round baler is used. It not only shapes the hay, but also presses it directly into a special net called a round bale net or also a wrapping net for round bales. The fine-linked wrapping net made of sturdy polyethylene is inserted into the round baler on a roll and then wrapped around the hay bale by machine. This compresses the hay and gives it its typical round bale shape.

Alternatively, by the way, the round bales can also be foiled - then a special agricultural stretch film is used instead of a round bale net. The fine round bale nets are in turn also used as storage nets for wood.

Unlike wrapping nets, our hay bale nets come into play on a finished hay bale. They serve as a feed net and help to ensure that not too much hay is eaten by the horses without effort. These hay nets for round bales are characterized by a thicker roper diameter and a larger mesh size. The handling is very simple: Just throw it over the pressed round bale, tie it up and the bale can be made available as a source of feed.

Since hay is mainly used as feed for horses and other livestock, it is particularly important that no mold develops during storage. Accordingly, the biomass must above all be stored in a dry place. In addition, air should reach the bales from all sides if possible during storage, because if there is permanent contact with the floor, a wall or even the ceiling, moisture and condensation can form. If this is the case, the formation of mold can hardly be avoided.

Our UV and weather resistant hay bale nets allow for just that: dry and airy storage of round bales. The box-shaped protective nets have a bottom and an opening on one of the sides. This allows you to easily put the hay net over the bale and then close the opening. With the help of a pulley, the net can now be hung up together with the hay so that it does not touch the floor, walls or ceiling and can be ventilated from all sides through the generous meshes. A 2 meter long pull cord for mounting with the pulley is already included with the purchase of the net. You can find more ropes and tension cords as well as other accessories in the online store.

All hay bale nets - whether prefabricated in 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.50 m format or made to measure in your desired size - are equipped with a reinforced edge all around. This way you can be sure that nothing will tear during suspension and that several attachment points will withstand the load without any problems. A material thickness of 5 mm allows a maximum mesh tensile force of approx. 3,200 N.
