The Necessity of Hay Tarps for Farmers Without a Barn

As a farmer without a barn for hay storage, I've learned the hard way just how crucial it is to protect my hay from the elements. Hay tarps, also known as hay covers, have become indispensable tools on my farm. Let me share why these specialty tarps, along with the right anchors and straps, are essential for anyone in a similar situation.


Protecting Your Investment


Hay is a significant investment, and leaving it exposed to the weather can lead to spoilage, sun damage, and unwanted germination. The Hay Cover is my go-to solution for preserving the quality of my hay. Made from extra heavy-duty polyethylene, this hay tarp is built to last. Its reversible design—white side out to keep things cool and black side out to retain heat—ensures that my hay stays in optimal condition no matter the weather. This feature is especially handy, making the Hay Cover a versatile white tarp when needed.


Easy and Secure Installation


One of the biggest challenges of using a tarp is securing it in place, especially in windy conditions. That’s where Hay Tarp Anchors come in. These spiral hay tarp anchors are a game-changer. Their loose spiral design allows me to effortlessly screw them into the hay bales, providing a secure point to fasten the tarp. Paired with rubber tarp straps, which are made from 100% EPDM rubber, the combination ensures a snug and reliable fit that withstands wind, rain, and anything else Mother Nature throws our way.


Versatility in Use


While the primary purpose of my hay tarp is to cover hay, its versatility extends far beyond that. The Hay Cover is a heavy duty tarp that can be used for various applications around the farm. From covering equipment and machinery to providing shelter for outdoor furniture and vehicles, this tarp is incredibly durable and reliable. Its convenient grommets and web loops make it easy to secure in place, no matter the size or shape of the items I'm covering.


Durability and Longevity


Durability is a key factor when choosing any farm tool, and the Hay Cover does not disappoint. With maximum ultraviolet-inhibiting (U.V.I.) additives, this tarp is designed to withstand direct sunlight, ensuring long-lasting protection for years to come. The Goldline tarp straps, made from superior EPDM rubber, are engineered to securely tie down tarps with unparalleled resistance to ozone and UV radiation. This means they last 5 to 20 times longer than traditional natural rubber straps, providing both convenience and reliability.


Peace of Mind


There’s nothing worse than waking up to find your hay spoiled from an overnight storm. With the Hay Cover and Hay Tarp Anchors, I can sleep soundly knowing that my hay is well-protected. These tools have given me peace of mind and have proven to be invaluable assets on my farm.
