Elim-a-net anyone used?

Seems like a good idea...but putting one net inside another is just as good....

and cheaper than that at £15 with P&P :eek:
 
I think they've been asked about before, I don't think they are very strong. If you get 2 nets, cut one of the strings out of the top of one of them, then put one inside the other and thread the remaining string through both, I' not sure I explained that very well, basically 2 nets one string
 
I bought one as I double my mare's haynets and I thought it would save me some time. It hasn't. The holes get bigger with each size so on the horse ones the holes are actually bigger than doubled haynets, I bought the pony one. You have to tie it up using the big ring on the bottom which is quite a feat when the net is full, the strings that make the holes smaller aren't very strong so you can't tie the net up using them. It now gets occassional use for my Shetland who makes as much mess with it as he does a normal haynet and I still double my mare's nets. This is a bit of a rant, sorry!
 
what's all the blurb about reducing wastage??:confused:

If mine haven't hooved everything up by morning then they get a bit less the following night. simples!
 
I bought 2 x the pony sized one, seemed a good idea for 2 porky shetlands. Started using it 3 days ago. Already there are 2 big holes in it. Won't be buying any more!!!
 
I bought 4 of the pony size ones last year, apart from the string having to be cut shorter in 2 of them they are all still in good working order. I use them for my horse as I weigh and soak her net and they deffinately make her hay last alot longer.

As threeponies said it can be difficult tying the string in the bottom but I would buy them again.
 
Wouldn't bother buying them. I bought a couple last winter (suggested on here after I posted) but they're not all that great and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. As mentioned, they're not particularly strong and end up with holes being ripped into them. Just stick to double netting with a couple of small-holed nets. Works just as well, lasts heck of a lot longer and is MUCH cheaper!!!

Me too. Waste of money.
 
Sorry to go against the grain but I have one and I really like it! I was sick and tired of doing double nets and this net is so much easier to fill and I do find that less drops on the floor. Also my horse makes massive holes in normal nets and so far this one is still intact after several months. So I am one happy customer.

Me too. I like mine, I don't know what some people are referring to when they talk about stringing it up using the big ring at the bottom??? Mine just hangs up like any other haynet!

It seems to be a normal haynet with extra haynet strings woven through it therefore making each hole smaller. The extra strings don't seem to be as strong as the original haynet part, and a couple of mine have broken but I have used it daily for over a year and am happy with it - and I soak my hay in the net for at least 8 hours each day. A bit pricey but much easier to fill than putting one haynet inside another haynet.
