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 utilized by bringing the hay to the net and filling on site.

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 of hay in this net, or half a small bale or have the hay net chock full, 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.

The super wide mouth (1.6m) of this net makes it exceptionally easy to fill. They are easier to fill if the nets are tied up against a solid object, however still easy enough to fill if hanging between 2 objects. Once complete, you bring the netting flap back over the mouth of the hay net, and secure the 4 clips, making sure your wind up the swivel on the carabiner clips so nothing is left for horses to scratch their noses on.

The 4 included clips are easy to clip and unclip and because they are a carabiner, you can increase the safely to your horses and livestock by screwing shut the actual clip lever, leaving nothing for delicate noses to get scratched or injured on.
Is this hole size suitable for my Horse? (30mm / 1 ¼" Sized Holes - Decelerator)
This hole size is great for ponies, minis and horses that are very voracious eaters. Recommended for horses that have already used a 40mm / 1 ¾" hay net hole size, who therefore understand what slow feed hay nets are about, but need slowing down a little more.
These 30mm / 1 ¼" sized holes are recommended for really gutzy horses or livestock, ponies, or for very palatable hay (not stalky). Lucerne is good hay to feed in 30mm / 1 ¼" nets if you are worried about the consumption rate. Higher sugar and therefore more palatable finer hays are also a good choice for this size.
