ROUND BALE HAY COVERS
Hay growers around the nation are recognizing it makes no sense at all to spend thousands of dollars to produce stacks of hay bales only to let them spoil. Hay covers are an economical means to protect your investment and get the best return possible.
The first thing to know is your round bale stacking pattern and proper round bale hay stacking techniques. Properly stacked round hay bales will prolong the life of your hay tarp by providing a tighter fit and adequate run-off for rain and snow melt.

To calculate the suggested length of your tarp, measure your stack and add 4' to allow the tarp to fold over the stack ends. Allow an additional 3' to 4' length per tarp for overlap if multiple tarps are being used. Single row tarps are also available.
The Round Bale Hay Tarp Selection Chart is based on TRUE bale size.
We recommend you measure your stack to
verify before ordering.

Here are some hay stacking tips...
- 1. Build a level area on which to stack hay.
- 2. The ground should slope away from the stack to allow for drainage.
- 3. Lay out baler twine on the ground as a guide for building a straight stack.

...and possible stacking patterns:

Single wide rows of round hay bales
The Hay Saver is made to fit any size round bale from 4’
to 6’ in diameter. No more worrying if the tarp is too big or too small to fit
your round hay bales because the Hay Saver is 12' wide and comes in a standard length
of 52’ which can accommodate 8 or 9 6’ round bales and 12 to 13 4’ round bales lined up in a
single row, one or two bales high. It is manufactured from our standard 7 oz
silver/white 16 mil hay tarp material, and uses the same triangle/strap design
of our popular Bull Flex hay tarp. |
|
2-2-1 round bale hay stack Stacking round hay bales on their flat end is another stacking option. Tarps are typically installed white side up and silver side down to reflect heat away from the hay, however, in winter tarps can be installed silver side up to encourage snow melt. As you feed out of the stack the tarp can be stretched tightly back and retightened to provide continued protection. It is important to fold and tighten the tarp securely to prevent wind whip damage to the tarp. |

The patented Super Cinch tie down system eliminates the need to tie and untie knots, making it the quickest way to secure and retighten your hay cover and protect it from wind damage. One person can apply an average of 450 pounds of pressure on each rope.
All Super Cinches are pre-installed. |

2” seatbelt webbing is pre-installed in a pocket on either end of the tarp, allowing the ends of the tarp to be cinched around a multitude of stack configurations, insuring a snug fit and protecting the ends from wind whip damage.
Each
Performer Hay Tarp has a rain gutter which helps eliminate rain
from running down the ropes and the sides of the hay stack, damaging the hay. |
 |
|
|
All hay tarps are accordion folded, then rolled to the center and banded. This insures that you receive an installation ready product. |
 |
|
Lay the 28’ long lengths of rope on the ground at 4’ intervals and stack your hay bales on top of the ropes. These ropes will then be threaded through the patented Super Cinch tie down to secure your tarp to the stack. Click here to view the Covering Round Bales video.

What do our Customers say about us?
 |
-
Your hay stack can be as long as you need. While smaller, independent stacks are common, our hay tarps can be overlapped to cover much longer stacks if desired.
§ Multiple tarps on a single stack should be overlapped 3’ to 4’ and then tied down independently of one another.
§ As your stack settles, retighten your ropes regularly to keep them “guitar string” tight. A loose cover will rip in high winds.
