Support small, family owned businesses by purchasing original products. Whether you're a farmer, rancher, or horse owner, an investment in Hay Anchors will product your harvest for years to come. INSTALLATION NOTE Whether tarping large, small, square, or round bales, HayAnchors should be placed so they cross the flakes of hay. Of course, the tighter the bale the better the hold. Insert HayAnchor until back face is snuggly contacting hay. HOW MANY ANCHORS? In windy locations - we suggest 1 anchor be placed every 4 feet along your tarp In calm locations - we suggest 1 anchor be placed every 6-8 feet along your tarp
