Turn a Collapsing Hay Net Into a Ready-to-Fill Stall Station
The Easy-Up® Wall Mount Hay Net Frame with Hay Net combines a durable metal frame, open-top loading, and an included slow-feed net.

When Loose Hay Takes Over the Stall
You know the routine because it rarely ends with one cleanup. A traditional hay net can be awkward to hold open while you load it, especially when you’re working with gloves or carrying several flakes at once. Once it is filled, you still have to position and secure it. Feeding hay loose may be faster at first, but your horse can nose it around the stall, step through it, or bury it in bedding before finishing the meal.
The cost is more than an untidy stall. Hay that ends up mixed with manure or damp bedding is difficult to recover, and every discarded forkful came from a bale you paid for and hauled into the loft. Cleanup adds minutes to each stall, and those minutes multiply in a multi-horse barn. Meanwhile, your horse may finish an easily accessible pile sooner than you intended, leaving a longer stretch of stall time without forage to occupy them.
What should be a straightforward part of barn management becomes a daily compromise. You want hay contained without turning every feeding into a wrestling match with ropes, knots, and collapsing mesh. You need an arrangement that respects your horse’s feeding routine while making the morning aisle calmer, cleaner, and easier to manage—and the usual choices do not always deliver both.

Stop Wrestling With Mesh at Feeding Time
Loose hay is simple to toss into a stall, but it gives your horse plenty of opportunity to push forage into corners, scatter it through the bedding, or stand on it. A conventional hanging net can contain the hay and influence eating pace, yet the soft opening often collapses while you are trying to load it. That means balancing flakes against your hip, holding mesh apart with one hand, and searching for the tie rope with the other. Even after it is filled, you must find a secure attachment point and manage the remaining rope.
Repeating those small frustrations changes the whole feeding routine. You may start underfilling a net because it is easier to handle, only to return sooner for another feeding. You may abandon the net on rushed mornings and feed loose, knowing you will probably fork wasted hay out with the bedding later. If your horse is especially enthusiastic at mealtime, an unsecured or poorly positioned bag can shift around as they eat, adding another detail for you to check whenever you walk past the stall.
The common workaround is to keep adapting: another snap, another knot, a different bag, or a makeshift hook on the wall. Each fix addresses one inconvenience while leaving the rest of the routine unchanged. You still need a feeder that stays ready for loading, keeps the hay contained, and lets you replace the part your horse actually eats from when normal wear eventually catches up with it.
- ✗Loose hay can be scattered through bedding and create extra stall cleanup.
- ✗A soft hay net can collapse while you are trying to load it.
- ✗Hanging and securing a conventional net can add steps to each feeding.
- ✗Bulky feeding arrangements can take up valuable stall space.

A Wall-Mounted Frame That Keeps the Net Open
The published specifications make the setup easy to evaluate before installation. The frame measures 30 inches long by 17 inches deep, and Schneiders lists its capacity at up to four flakes, or approximately 20 pounds of hay. Mounting hardware is included. The supplied hay net can be replaced, and the frame is designed to work with most standard hay nets, giving you flexibility if your feeding preferences or your horse’s needs change over time.
For your horse, the result is a consistent place to find forage rather than a loose pile that can be spread through the bedding. The 2-inch net openings encourage smaller pulls than unrestricted loose hay, helping create a more measured feeding routine. Because the frame stays mounted and ready, the system does not need to be retied at every meal. Net longevity will still depend on your horse’s behavior, time in the stall, and pattern of use, so routine inspection remains part of responsible barn care.
For you, the payoff appears during every feeding pass: an open top for quick loading, less time managing drawstrings, and a flatter profile that preserves valuable stall space. The frame carries a five-year warranty against manufacturing defects; the hay net is excluded, recognizing that mesh is a replaceable wear component. It is a practical, horse-first approach to cleaner stall organization from a family business Trusted since 1948.
