Hay storage

I dont have bales but that looks ok to me...

As long as no weather can get in and it keeps it nice and dry it should be fine :wave:
 
I ahve a similar product, just watch the plastic lid doesn't distort (mine did after a reasonable time) so now I find it can get" slightly damp feeling" in there and I don't keep anything in there that isn't wrapped up in plastic "just in case" I probably abused mine shoving too much in there !

How long have you had it and did you keep it in the sun :wave:

I dont understand paypal so dont use ebay :oops:
 
I think there have been a few threads on here saying the plastic style allow the rain in. They would be ok for inside a shed to protect it from roaving bunny mouths though.

You could think about wheelie bins, or the old fashioned bins with lids (£8 in wilks) I have mine in the coal shed which is seperate from the shed, and relatively dry. I can fit about 8 bales in there on their ends.
 
I have a simalar 1 and it just fits a bale of hay in and is weatherproof i've had mine yrs
 
I had a bin (80l) barely got an 8th of the bale in it :shock: I can cover the bale (and/or the box) with tarp though?
 
I am interested in this thread as I would love to buy a bale it's so much cheaper. I am sure this one has been raised before and someone said that plastic isn't good because it sweats in summer. :? I want to find something that doesn't let mice in - can't stand the little things, we live close to a heath so they are always about. :roll:
 
Im sure if you keep it in the shade during summer it wont be too bad :wave:
Ive found the exact same one on ebay for £25 ish, wish I could work ebay :roll:
 
I called the council and told them someone had stolen my wheelie bin so they bought me a new one out for my hay :D
 
Mine gets the sun on it and its fine think mine is a ketter 1 had it about 10yrs now and looks like new apart from its dirty :roll::lol:
 
I have one very similar to that and find it great for a hay bale. Mine is in the garage though so no exposure to rain or sun.
