Question for those who make their own haynets

[broken shoulder]

Where do you order your netting from?
I'm looking for heavy-duty netting with mesh size of approx 30mm.

I have tried haybars, which I loved, but my horses either pulled everything out and ruined it or they used it as a potty. I rather like the idea of the giant square haynet made by the Swedish Hoof School* (but not the price) which hangs low and can be filled like a haybar.

* something like this http://is.gd/phSr3D

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have seen a person advertising those sort of nets on facebook somewhere, they weren't very expensive either and came in a range of sizes. I'll see if I can find the link for you

These people make a net big enough to cover a bale that I guess could be used in a similar way

Try here, or a similar sports netting site. Can be bought by the metre.

I used to make my haynets from bailing twine. A couple of hours work and any size holes you like, plus they last years and if you plait 3 strands for the hanging cord, they don't cut your hands to ribbons like polypropolene does.

Don't know if that'll work, they're only £8 which I thought was pretty good!

Thanks very much, everyone, for all your help
Off to look at netting choices and facebook pages now.

Sorry to be negative but a low hung haynet sounds like an accident waiting to happen... flexibucket and brick or similar much safer if wanting head-down eating posture.
