Our nets are made of very solid knotless polypropylene netting (PPM), which you can get from us in different yarn thicknesses and mesh sizes.
Compared to conventional round bale nets, which are sewn in a box shape, our nets have a cylindrical shape and are manufactured to fit the various round bale sizes. This means that the bale retains its "shape" even as the amount of hay decreases and less "excess" netting material remains.
Not only do our hay nets allow you to offer your animal hay in small portions throughout the day, but you also save up to 50% as much less hay is represented.
Accessory 1: Optionally, you can also purchase a very sturdy hot-dip galvanized iron ring, which is firmly connected to the edge of the net. With this ring the handling is much easier, because the ring with the net only has to be put over the round bale, no lashing or tensioning is necessary anymore. You can increase the weight of the ring by filling it with dry sand (quartz sand). For this purpose we have provided the metal rings with an opening and a plastic clip for closing.
Accessory 2: Alternatively, we can offer you a ring made of PE pipe with Ø 32mm diameter. This ring is intended for self-assembly and is supplied with a brass connector and braided line (for attaching to the ring). For weight increase we recommend filling it with dry sand.
Accessory 3: Furthermore, we can offer you a galvanized iron chain for weight increase. By simply "threading" it through the lower edge meshes, the net gets the necessary weight to slide easily over the bale and then rest securely on the ground. A chain link is included accordingly for connecting the two ends.
Accessory 4: Dismountable 4-piece iron ring with oval tube cross-section. This is simply put together, no further connecting elements such as screws etc. are necessary. Due to the design, the ring is not completely round, but this has the advantage that it can be turned to fit oval round bales that often occur. The disassembled ring also allows a much cheaper transport.
Note: Experience has shown that it is better to choose the net 10 cm larger in diameter, as round bales vary.
