Check out the new hardware!
After lots of testing on various closures. We have finally found the great new Cinch Strap! The cinch strap allows much easier sliding to open and close the net, and has semi-permanent hardware. The strap is directly attached to the keeper. The keeper's design eliminates the need for knots. We think this is a much better strap, indeed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can the horses chew through the net?
A.While yes it is possible for the horse to break a link in the netting, It is not very common as the horse will quickly learn that the goal is to get the hay out and leave the net alone. And in our experience they don't chew a big hole, it would be a link as in "a section from one knot to the next." The net's do come with a section of UV treated nylon repair string so you can mend the net if needed.
Q. What is the net made of?
A. The netting is made from thehighest quality Dupont Nylon and is UV treated that is why it is black. We use knotted netting as it is stronger and more durable than knot-less netting. The holes are 1 3/4" by 1 3/4" in diameter.
