Choose the one that best suits your needs. Don&#8217;t hesitate to ask for our advice.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For example, if your hay rack measures 2 m x 4 m and is 60 cm high, opt for a net with dimensions 2.60 m x 4.60 m.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help, we are here to assist you by phone, email, or WhatsApp. \ud83d\ude09 <a href=\"https:\/\/filetafoin.com\/en\/contact\/\">contact<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;786701&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>To calculate<strong> the size of a bag-shaped hay net <\/strong>based on your habits and needs:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Number of horses to feed<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the <strong>hay consumption<\/strong> of each horse and choose the net size accordingly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple horses<\/strong>: consider a larger net to hold a greater quantity of hay and prevent horses from jostling.
