FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • HOW LONG DOES THE NETTING LAST?
    There are a few conditions to consider when looking at the life expectancy of the hay net. The number of horses eating from each hay feeder. The texture of the hay you are feeding, long and stemmy or short and supple. Very aggressive horses or quiet and docile. The average net last from 24-36 months.
  • DOES WEATHER CONDITIONS PLAY A ROLE IN THE LIFE OF THE NETTING?
    No. The netting is made from a very high-grade UV resistant nylon material.
  • IF A REPLACEMENT NET IS NEEDED, IS IT HARD TO REPLACE THE OLD NETTING?
    Nope! The replacement netting is sent with all the needed hardware to attach it to the lifting ring. Simply remove all the old fasteners and remove the netting. Position the new netting in the base of the feeder and align the indicated corners with the corners of the feeder. Then re-apply with new fasteners and tighten the rope.
  • DOES IT ONLY COME IN ONE COLOR?
    Yes, only black.
  • CAN WE REPLACE THE NET ONCE IT BECOMES WORN OUT?
    Yup! We offer net replacement kits that we can ship to you!
  • ARE THERE DRAIN HOLES?
    Yes, there are 5 drain holes in the feeder. Once in each corner and one in the middle.
  • CAN THE FEEDER BE MOVED?
    Yes. There are fork pockets on one side of the feeder to ensure it does not slide off your pallet forks.
  • HOW LONG DO THE NETS LAST?
    On average, a net with 2 to 4 horses will last 2-3 years.
  • HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH?
    500 pounds.
  • CAN I USE ANY SIZE BALE WITH THE ROUND BALE FEEDER?
    Yes, the round hay feeder will accommodate any hay bale from a small 4x4 up to a large 6x6 hay bale.
  • WHAT IS A SKID PACKAGE?
    It is a set of steel skies bolted to the bottom of the legs. These are typically used in situations where people are not able to lift the feeder up to relocate it!

"We purchased our hay trap after a close call with a standard hay feeder where a horse narrowly escaped serious injury. We were looking for a strong but safe design and after a lot of research we chose the Haltbar haytrap. The construction has proved sturdy, and the net strength and quality are far improved to other nets we have used. The major bonus to this worry-free feeder is that we can change a bale in mid-winter within 90 seconds and believe me, when you live in Minnesota that matters!
