Our Breathable Hay Tarps are constructed with a proprietary European-engineered polypropylene fabric that is lightweight, water resistant, and nearly impossible to tear. Humidity easily passes through it, but rain just rolls right off, as long as your hay is stacked with a 45° slope. They are ideal for covering round hay bales, however square bales are also possible as long as you create a peak at the top of the haystack. These hay covers are significantly easier to install than conventional polyethylene tarps and will not billow in the wind due to their lightweight, breathable properties. Conventional tarps can weigh over 100 lb and require clunky and laborious tie-down methods, but these revolutionary hay tarps can be held in place just by tacking Hay Tarp Pins through the material into your hay.
When covering your haystack, be sure to stack with 45° slopes and keep the tarps TIGHT to ensure proper functionality. Examine and adjust periodically for tautness. It is also recommended to stack hay on top of some kind of base layer, such as stone or gravel or pallets, to keep bales away from direct ground contact in order to prevent absorption of ground moisture.
To determine the hay tarp size, refer to the hay tarp calculator in the attached images.
