So far so good
"It's in good shape but we don't use it much. Only the horses can use it. Too small for the cattle."
Dura-Tech® Large Slow Feed Round Bale Hay Net
Make the Round Bale Last, Not End Up in the Mud
A round bale in the field gets pulled apart and trampled. This polyester net goes over bales up to 6 by 6 feet, and its 2-inch squares make your horses take smaller mouthfuls, so the bale lasts longer and less is wasted.
1
Smaller Mouthfuls, a Longer Bale
2-inch by 2-inch squares slow the intake, so the hay is eaten closer to the way horses graze and the bale lasts.
2
Less Hay Trampled
Hay stays inside the net instead of being pulled out, dropped and walked into the ground.
3
Fits a Big Bale
Sized for round bales up to 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall.
4
Pull It Over, Draw It Closed
Polyester net with a drawstring top: open it, work it over the bale, draw it shut.
Finding the Right Fit
Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.

We just purchased the large round bale hay net. It was easy to put on the net appears to be of high-quality and should last a long time. It will definitely keep waste to a minimum.
★★★★★
I am actually using this as an attachment to my PVC bale feeder. It works GREAT for helping my horses consume their hay bale more slowly and naturally. The feeder is actually a large square feeder, and this large round bale feeder has done the trick!
★★★★★
We bought this about a year ago. It’s still working and not torn. Super pleased with value and quality.

Reviews
Worth it!
"Held up well for two seasons, also easy to repair holes/wear and tear over time. Easy to use and really extends the length of time the hay bale lasts! It is big enough to fit a large round bale."
Great
"My horses love the hay net."
Affordable and good quality
"Easiest hay net to put on bales. Fits our really big 1700# grass hay bales with room to spare. Fairly durable considering my velociraptor geldings are pretty hard on nets"
Good value for the price
"It's too big for my 5 x 5 round bales, but it does the job I needed it to and the horses haven't been able to destroy it yet like they did the more expensive nets."
Works great!
"Sturdy and safe for ponies."
Great Round Bale Net
"It can be tough to get on with one person but it's doable with some patience! It has held up well to my boys abuse for 2 winters now."

Bail net
"Been very impressed with the material and strength"
These hey nets are huge!
"These hey nets are huge! I wish I had bought tje smaller size as it is just a lot of net to wok with to find the opening. The nets do not come pressing with the pull cord. Rather than hassle with it, we left it off and just put it over like a pillow case. That works fine except in one pen where the horses pull it off. So far the 4 nets we bought are holding up fine so they are probably with the savings of hay chix ones. They are a little more difficult to work with, but lighter."
