In the farming industry having alternative storage options is greatly beneficial. Barns, sheds and portable structures are normally used to house valuable equipment and supplies. Ideally, these facilities would be ideal for hay bale storage but with limited space, some low cost solutions can reduce the need for additional and high cost building structures. One of the most popular alternatives for effective hay storage is through the use of hay tarps.
Designed for year round weather, hay tarps can be used to safely cover hay bales, keeping this valuable resource dry from moisture and protected from the harsh effects UV. These specialty tarps are manufactured using high-density polyethylene materials and come retrofitted with heavy-duty aluminum grommets every eighteen inches around the perimeter. Each hay tarp includes rope-reinforced edges, which evenly distribute pressure along the grommets and aid in the prevention of tears.
For further protection, hay tarps are manufactured using three layers of laminated, silver reflective poly. The inner ply is comprised of a UV blocking black scrim layer and is responsible for providing an impenetrable membrane for superb protection. The top and bottom layers of the hay tarp are coated with a waterproof silver laminate. This silver consistency reflects and diverts a large percentage of the suns UV rays and will reduce humidity and heat.
Over the years the hay tarp has helped farmers free up important storage space by allowing hay bales to remain outside. Furthermore, the hay tarp has had an economic impact by reducing damage to outdoor hay bales. Polyethylene is a material that is naturally resistant to mold, mildew and rot. These characteristics make the hay tarp a crucial asset in the protection of outdoor hay bales. The wide variety of available sizes makes the hay tarp extremely versatile, as well as beneficial to the farming industry.
