Dura-Tech® Full Bale 1.5" Slow Feed Net Hay Bag

This hay bag is specifically designed to fit a full standard square bale effortlessly. The bag measures 48 inches long by 25 inches in diameter, making it ideal for typical 40–50 lb square bales. Customers confirm it holds a complete bale without the hassle of stuffing hay into smaller bags.

The 1.5" hole slow feed design promotes slower hay consumption throughout the day, which encourages healthier eating habits and can help prevent digestive issues like ulcers. By controlling the rate at which horses access hay, this design mimics natural grazing patterns and keeps horses occupied longer.

The hay bag is constructed from 1680D poly material, which is a heavy-duty polyester commonly used in equestrian equipment for its strength and weather resistance. Most customers report excellent durability and quality, though a few have noted that the stitching at the top and bottom seams may need attention with heavy use or very full bales.

The bag features an easy-to-use drawstring rope closure at the top that makes filling simple—just open it up, insert your hay bale, and pull the drawstring tight. The design allows you to hang it directly in your stall once filled, with no complicated setup required.

While the bag is made from durable 1680D poly material, it's designed primarily for slow feeding rather than for horses that actively destroy hay bags. If your horse is particularly destructive, you may want to ensure the bag is properly secured and monitor it regularly, as some customers with heavy usage have reported wear on the bottom seams.

While the bag can technically hold loose hay, it's specifically engineered for standard square bales. Customers who filled these bags with loose hay reported durability issues, so for best results and longevity, using a compressed square bale is recommended.

This bag is excellent for show environments because it holds a full bale, providing 24/7 hay access without constant refilling. Customers love using it at shows since it allows their horses continuous grazing while freeing up time to focus on other show preparations.

Schneider Saddlery has excellent customer service and stands behind the product—customers who contacted them with stitching concerns received replacement bags quickly. If you experience any defects, reach out to customer support with your order number and photos for fast resolution.
