Hay Tarp

Hay tarps, also known as hay covers or hay bale covers, are protective coverings used in agriculture to preserve and protect hay from the elements. They are typically made of durable and waterproof materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene and come in various sizes to accommodate different bale configurations.

The primary purpose of hay tarps is to shield bales of hay from moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors that can degrade its quality. By using hay tarps, farmers and ranchers can minimize hay spoilage, maintain nutritional value, and extend the shelf life of their stored hay.

The sleeved hay tarp utilizes a welded sleeve edge into which a 1โ€ metal pipe is inserted. This gives a rigid edge on the hay tarp which protects the tarp against wind flap. Because the sleeved hay tarp has an inserted pipe edge the installer can tie off at any point (recommended approx 2m intervals) and does not have to rely on multiple eyelets at 1m intervals. Polytex specifies using a welded sleeve for pipe insert for ultimate strength because the alternative eyelet tie downs still leaves the space between eyelets that the wind can attack.
