Fence-Mounted Hay Feeder Frame for Medium Hay Nets. This is a fantastic new addition to our hay net and slow-feeding range, this fence or rail-mounted feeding frame has been specifically designed to fit our Medium Hay Nets.

Dimensions: 60cm (L) x 30cm (D) 

Included in the kit:

• 1 x Mounting Frame- Made from steel
• 25 x Cable Ties (30mm Length)
• 4 x Saddle Clamps
• 4 x Screws and Wall Plugs

Simply select your preferred hay net mesh size, undo the screw in the frame and weave the net onto the frame (remove the drawstring as this isn’t needed). Do up the screw, and your hay net is safely held in place and ready for use and secure to your desired location. 

The frame can be mounted to a fence line, rail, panel, stable wall, or yard using either the included mounting brackets or the supplied cable ties. The cable ties provide a quick and simple installation option, making the feeder easy to relocate between paddocks, stables, yards, or feeding areas whenever required.

Once installed, the feeder can be filled conveniently from the opposite side of the fence or rail, allowing you to add hay without entering the horse's enclosure. Simply load one or two biscuits (flakes/slabs) of hay at a time until the desired amount is reached. This makes feeding safer, quicker, and more convenient, while eliminating the need to enter the paddock and dodge a hungry horse, and tie up hay nets from their drawstrings.

Our Medium Hay Nets in this setup will typically hold approximately 4 - 5 biscuits (flakes/slabs) of hay and are available in mesh sizes of 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, and 6cm to suit a wide range of feeding requirements.

These versatile feeding frames allow hay to be offered at various heights and locations, providing flexibility for use in stables, yards, and paddocks.

Safety Note: For shod horses, the feeder should be mounted high enough that the empty hanging net remains out of reach of horseshoes. Similar care should be taken with foals and small ponies to ensure the net is positioned beyond hoof reach, or that a mesh size smaller than the hoof size is selected.

Cable ties are included for quick and easy installation. We have also supplied quality saddle clamps, screws, and mounting hardware to allow the feeder frame to be secured more permanently to metal or timber rails, fences, or walls.

A permanent mounting option is recommended for horses that are particularly enthusiastic or forceful when feeding, as repeated pulling on the hay net may place additional strain on cable ties and could eventually cause them to fail.

Please Note: This is a frame only, no slow feed hay net is included.
