Full details

FAQs
What is the capacity of this haynet?
The KM Elite Deluxe Haynet holds approximately 6.5kg of hay.
Can this be used for horses with shoes?
It is generally not recommended to use haynets with horses that have iron shoes, as the shoes can catch in the netting if the net hangs too low.
How large are the holes in this net?
The holes are 2 inches in size, which is designed to slow down the rate of consumption.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor stable use and outdoor paddock environments.
Does the net come with a rope for hanging?
The net includes chrome-finished rings for secure attachment, but users typically use their own lead rope or twine to hang it securely.
Troubleshooting
The haynet is fraying
Inspect for sharp objects or fence protrusions where the net might be catching and move the hanging location if necessary.
The horse is eating too fast
Ensure the net is packed tightly enough to maintain resistance, or consider doubling up if the horse has mastered the 2-inch spacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the KM Elite Deluxe Haynet, thread your lead rope through the top chrome-finished iron rings and secure it to a stable ring or anchor point. Always hang the net at a height that allows the horse to reach the hay comfortably without the bottom of the net dangling dangerously low where it could catch on a hoof.
Compatibility: Suitable for most standard horse stalls, transport trailers, and outdoor paddock hooks.
Care Instructions: Periodically inspect the netting for any signs of fraying or wear caused by aggressive teeth. Shake out debris regularly to prevent dust buildup, and hand wash in mild, horse-safe detergent if the net becomes heavily soiled from turnout use.
