HayHut - all weather enclosed pasture hay feeder
The HayHut, the all-weather enclosed pasture hay feeder heralds a revolution in the feeding of hay to horses. The HayHut is the best, most efficient, and most economical pasture feeder.
By enclosing the hay, it is protected from inclement weather and the ravages of horses that, by nature, like to defecate on hay and use it as bedding. This wastage that can amount to in excess of one third of a round bale is almost totally eliminated by the HayHut.
The unit comes in two halves with simple build instructions and takes approximately 30 minutes to bolt together. They are very easy to move, manage, load and maintain. The HayHut is supplied with all assembly hardware and a lifting eye for relocation purposes. It can also be relocated with a round roll by inserting the roll inside the unit. The HayHut is a full 84 inches in depth so that it can accommodate the largest of round rolls now being produced in the USA and up to twenty conventional square bales or the majority of big square bales. This additional depth also allows it to be easily pushed back over very large bales, even if they have been placed on a pallet, without catching the top lip of the feeder on the bale. It is 86 inches high so that there is plenty of headroom for the use of a pallet while still allowing for good airflow and cooling over the top of the bale.
