Ply refers to how many individual strands are in each section of the netting. The strength is in how strong those individual strands are, how tight they are, and what material they are made from. So you are comparing apples to oranges if you are comparing knotless to knotted in terms of ply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre you after some flexibility in sizing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, especially in drought situations we simply don't know where our hay is coming from next.

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 utilised by bringing the hay to the net and filling on site. This can save considerable time, as opposed to going out to the yard or paddock, untying your hay net, bringing it back to the hay shed, filling it, then taking it back to the paddock, yard or stable, to tie up for your animals to eat from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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\/ flake of hay in this net, or half a small bale, your animals will still be able to graze from the hay net.

We recommend mounting at a height that keeps the net's lowest point at least 1-2 feet\/ 30-60cm off the ground, adjusted to suit your own horse's height and habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilling your Hay Net:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your wall hanging hay net has been hung and positioned using the 2 carabiners and attached rope, simply bring the hay to the hay net, undo the 4 green hay lock clips that secure the top flap down, open the netting flap, and fill the hay net with hay. The super wide mouth (1.6m\/ 5'3\") makes it exceptionally easy to fill. It's easier to fill if the net is tied up against a solid object, though still easy enough to fill if hanging between two objects. Once complete, bring the netting flap back over the mouth of the hay net and secure the 4 green hay lock clips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4 included green hay lock clips are made from durable plastic which has an internal wire, meaning it is designed to be easily pulled apart and encouraged to stay that way due to the wire support.

Ply refers to how many individual strands are in each section of the netting. The strength is in how strong those individual strands are, how tight they are, and what material they are made from. So you are comparing apples to oranges if you are comparing knotless to knotted in terms of ply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are GutzBusta® Hay Nets so popular?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur products are designed with large and strong drawstrings to secure the hay net around your round bale.
