Works great. There is must less waste. My round bales last twice as long. Good quality, well made.

The quality of the mesh is good. I don't see my horses ripping a hole in it for a while, but if it gets caught on anything (like mesh does on a farm) it will likely pop the strands. Typical wear and tear to be expected. My round bales are 4x5 and with the ad stating 5x5 bales. I was expecting a bit more room to work with, and that wasn't the case. The closure is a bit involved, but the tool for weaving the extra rope was appreciated. I might use for large square bales more so than rounds because it's a bit of effort to get it on a 4x5.

Round Bale Hay nets are priceless if you want to get your monies worth out of round rolls with horses. I've used at least seven different brands. Some were so big that I could have fit two of our east coast 4' rolls in them. Some of the ones that say that they fit 4 or 5 foot rolls barely fit a four foot one. This one fit my rolls perfectly. Just enough to cinch off the opening.This prevents your horses from breaking down that roll in a few days, spreading it around and using half of it for a restroom break. You should not use it with shod horses or leave halters on. Both of those are not issues for my horses. They are all barefoot and halters are for work time.When you start looking into hay nets there is one name that you will hear over and over everyone praise and say it is the only one to get because it lasts and doesn't get holes. I'm not going to mention the name but the price tag on that particular net is insane to me. You can buy four or five less expensive ones and throw them out everytime you get a whole and you would still save a few bucks. But here's the thing, they will get holes. So what? You just "stictch" up the holes either with the string they provide (which I never use) I use handy dandy baling twine because it's always within hands reach. Literally just simply tie off the hole. It is not a big deal. I have hay nets like this one that are five years old that have a few tied off holes and are still going strong. I'd never pay hundreds of dollars for one that would make me cry when it got a hole in it.Trickiest part is figuring out what works best for you to put it on. When I first started using them I didn't have a tractor. It wasn't easy. Now I do and it's a simple matter to pick up the roll, cut off the baling net and replace it with this. Because my rolls all go under a roof, I put them on the flat side to the ground because they won't be wicking up any moisture into the roll. This way the horses don't roll them out from under the roof. I flip it (with my tractor after tying off the opening so the tied portion is underneath.I can't tell you enough that this is such a huge savings. My horses eat all of the roll now. They probably ate 40-50% before with the rest being wasted.

I feed a lot of round bales, and my horses will make a real mess if they are not in a net. I’ve used several over the years, and it’s always a mystery what you will get when you go with a new brand. This Miyabala brand 5x5 round bale net is actually one of the good ones!My friend and I examined all the stitching, yanked on it, and then put a bale in. I actually like the green soft rope that you can take off completely to make the opening as easy to slip over the bale as possible. Feeding it around the top is easy. The edges of the bottom of the net are nicely reinforced and easy to center around the bale. The net comes with a repair kit, as every net will eventually get holes. Part of the kit is small zip ties, which left us both impressed by the simplicity of using them instead of the usual bailing twine. A real light bulb moment.In the picture of the two netted bales, the one on the left is the famous one that rhymes with Neigh Bricks and the one on the right is the Miyabala. We actually spent a few minutes repairing holes in the Neigh Bricks one with zip ties right after we got the bales situated. I can say the zip tie repair method is working well!

I use this for 1000lb bales for my gelding. The net has held up well, even in rain. A large round bale lasts about three weeks for my one horse with this, whereas without it only lasts 10 days. Well worth the investment and saves money on hay.It fits easily with room to spare. Just open the net, roll the hay, cinch, and tie. Super simple.

This is a large bale net for use in a pasture. We bought this to use in one of our pastures as we have a horse that like to pull the bale apart out on the ground. We can't afford the waste. We've used another well known bale net for years and wanted to try a less expensive option.The ad states that the bale net is for 5x5 round bales. Our bales are 4x5 and it was a tight fit. Once the net was over the bale, we used the included tool to weave the excess rope through the net to get it out of the way. In the winter months, any extra material will get froze to the ground pretty easily. The net is a poly-rope material, similar to a hay net material that you might find used in a stall, except much bigger. The kit came with some excess rope, a weaving tool, and some zip ties. There are no directions so if you purchase, you'll need to play with it until you have it figured out. I recommend doing that somewhere other than the field. I think this will do the job pretty well. I'll send an update if we see any major issues over the next few months.

I ordered this hay net specifically for our cows. One thing that stands out about the hay net is its knotless design. Unlike traditional hay nets with knotted construction, this design is smoother and eliminates rough spots that might otherwise irritate a cows sensitive nose. The knotless feature ensures the net is gentle on the animal, whether it be horses or cows, while still being sturdy enough to withstand the strain of regular use.The holes are slightly smaller than a net designed for cows but it still works. We use smaller round bales so it is adequate to fit them. Since we can roll them by hand (4x5 bales) getting the net on is seamless. What I like the most about the net is it keeps them from wasting as much as they do with the round bale feeder. Time will tell how it will hold up with our mini cows.
