Black is the colour that hides hay dust and green staining better than any of the others, which is why it tends to end up as the yard's spare-net colour rather than an individual horse's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt holds roughly 6.5kg of hay and weighs 575g empty — KM Elite point out that most competing nets come in at 300–350g, and the difference is in the thickness of the yarn rather than the size of the net. That extra substance is what stops the mesh stretching into wide, useless holes after a season of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40\" net with 2\" holes, holding approximately 6.5kg of hay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e575g empty — KM Elite compare this with the 300–350g typical of lighter nets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium polypropylene yarn, handcrafted rather than machine-knotted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron rings finished in high chrome, so the drawcord does not pick up rust staining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\" mesh cuts the dropped hay a horse wastes pulling loose mouthfuls from a rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds up to stable, horsebox, trailer, yard and field use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies on ad-lib or overnight hay in a stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravelling, where a full net has to survive being loaded and swung about.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYards wanting one net per horse that lasts a season rather than a month.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoaked hay, provided the net is hung to drip and dry between feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a small-hole slow-feeder — a horse on a strictly rationed forage intake is better served by a purpose-made slow-feed net such as the Elim-a-Net.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang the net from a ring or a tie post at wither height or above, using a quick-release knot tied to a loop of breakable baler twine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill from the top, gather the drawcord, pull it tight and knot it off so the mouth closes as the net empties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the slack up as the net empties, or re-tie it higher, so the empty net never hangs down near the horse's legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse the net through with water and hang it to dry if it has been used for soaked hay or haylage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntie and take the net down before turnout rather than leaving it hanging in an empty stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40\" (approximately 102cm) net with 2\" holes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds approximately 6.5kg of hay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e575g net weight — KM Elite compare this with the 300–350g typical of lighter nets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium polypropylene (PP) yarn body with iron rings finished in high chrome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawcord closure.
