Horse Hay Feeder - Square Poly Panels (2 panels)

It really depends on the size of your bales, but this feeder is designed to be built to any size you'd like. Each panel is 3' square and they all fit into each other to allow for custom sizes. Because the panels are interchangeable, they may be used as a floor or a wall. A 6' x 3' feeder will require 6 panels (3 boxes) for the walls. To add a floor, you'd need to add 2 panels (1 box).

If you'd like a quote with shipping, please forward the size of the feeder you'd like, along with if a floor is needed and we'll reply with a quote for your review.

These panels have holes in the bottom of the legs so they may be staked into the ground and prevent moving or lifting.

Thank you for your question. The panels are sold in boxes of two, so to order six panels you would order three boxes. Each panel is three feet square and the number needed will depend upon the size of your bales. If you forward the size of your bales or the number you'd like with your zip code, I'll be happy to reply with a quote with shipping for your review. Please indicate if you'd like a floor with your feeder. If I can help with anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you again for your question.

Thank you for your interest in the poly trans feeder. The panels are three feet square, but allow 29-1/2" usable area on the inside. You would need a 2-panel wide feeder, 3 panels long to accommodate a large 3x3x8 bale. This will give an inside dimension for the feeder of 59" wide by approximately 103" long, plenty of room to spare. To complete a feeder this large, you will need to order 5 boxes which equals 10 panels.

A 2x2 feeder (6' square) without a floor would be 8 panels. A 1x1 feeder without a floor would require 4 panels and a 1x2 will be 6 panels. The panels are sold in boxes of two, so you would need to divide the total number of panels by 2 to get the quantity to order. The U&J bolt kits are used for flooring only and are not required if a floor is not desired. If you have any questions or if we can help with anything at all, please let us know. Thank you

The smallest "cube" you can make is a 1 x 1, which is approximately 3' x 3', and consists of (5) total panels. You would use (4) of the panels as the side of the cube and (1) of the panels as the floor. You would need to order (1) set of u/j bolt kits to attach the floor. Since we only sell these in a (2 pack) you would have to order (3) sets. That would leave you with (1) extra panel.

A 3' x 3' with a floor would be adequate to feed one horse. A 3' x 3' with a floor would require you to purchase (3) cartons as you'd need (5) panels = (4) for the sides and (1) for the floor, plus you'd have to order (1) floor bolt kit.

Yes you can, but you would have to attach an "L" bracket to the poly panel which can be purchased at a local hardware store.

You would be correct unless you wanted a floor. Then you would need (8) panels or (4) cartons as well as (2) u bolt/j bolt kits to bolt the floor together. This would make your hay bale feeder be a 3' (36") x 6' (72"). If you only go with (6) panels, (2) would be used as a floor, but your hay feeder would only be a 3' x 3' and not quite large enough to hold your 40" bale.

You need 4 sets of panels and (2) U-bolt kits, shipping is free with a 4-day transit time. Please call to discuss larger quantity discounts.

That should work well and we'll forward a quote for your review shortly.

We wouldn't recommend that these panels be used as a fenceline. The strength of these panels comes from using them together. A single panel can be used as a corner feeder as that type of application, however, to do a 16' line might be pushing the window. Now, if you were to use posts or other type of support every 4-5', then they would work fine.

Thank you for your inquiry. You are correct, they are priced as a pair. I will assume that your 500lb round bales are 4 x 5. Each panel is 3 x 3, so a 2-panel x 2-panel square feeder would work. If you wanted a floor, then you would need a total of 12 panels or 6 boxes. In addition, to reinforce the floor, you would need to purchase (4) U & J bolt sets. The floor panels are the same as the side panels, so you can see that there would be adequate drainage.

For a 2’ x 4’ bale of hay, I would recommend a 1 x 2 feeder (3’ x 6’). The floor is optional.Please email the complete shipping address (City/State/Zip Code), so we can provide you estimated freight cost to your location.

Yes, you are correct. The panels are sold in a box set containing 2 panels. This allows for the feeder to be built to custom sizes depending on the number of horses and the size of the hay bales used. You can create practically any sized feeder you desire. For example, we have a 2 x 3 feeder, with 6 floor panels pictured on the website beside the product description. This feeder would require 8 pairs (8 boxes) to construct.

The panels are formed with openings for the fasteners to connect the panels to each other. Each of the fastener openings is recessed to allow the bolts and nuts to be recessed into the body portion of the panel so they don't project outward, preventing scapes and cuts. The use of the floor option feeder assembly will provide a more stable and rigid feeder assembly and will keep the hay bale(s) placed off the ground to minimize waste and keep them from getting wet on the bottom. This also helps prevent mold and wicking of water up out of the ground. When using a double row of floor panels such as a 2 x 2 or larger special U-bolts and -J-bolts must be used to secure the floor panels to the wall panels - These fasteners are located under the floor, away from the horse's reach and do not project out anyway. Please specify how many floor panels you are designing for your use. For example a 1x1, 1x2 & (1 x anything) will not require any special U & J bolt fasteners. But a 2x2 or larger will, the formula is simple a 2x2 feeder will require =4 sets of U & J bolts, a 2x3=6 sets of U & J bolts, and so on. The cost per set of U & J bolts is $6.50 per floor panel so please be sure to include this in your order, and remember it is only required for feeders that are greater than a 2x2 feeder with a floor option. If a floor portion is not utilized, the side portions of the feeder assemblies can be used as a ground feeder that is placed around the hay bale(s). Such a ground feeder ring can be assembled around the bale(s)of hay to be fed.
