Hay shelter

Well, if you read the DIY Square Bale Slow Feeder article, you know that our horses’ paddock was set up for square bales, not round. Round bales are a whole ‘nother ball game.

Wondering if it's even possible to store hay outdoors? It is! Come find outdoor hay storage ideas for the winter, even without a barn.

Build your own hay feeder... 6x6

If I did not already own a Hayhut, I would build this. Feeds one round bale or six to eight square bales. All treated wood, solid roof sheathing, keeps hay off the ground, virtually eliminates waste and spoilage. Every edge is chamfered for horse safety. Built on skids, the unit is completely portable, so I can move it to fresh ground or another field anytime, pulling it with a pickup truck. It wasn't cheap, but it has paid for itself in savings in hay.

I have been wanting to build a shelter, and i had a round steel feeder for my hay which I didn't want to put under the shelter because I didn't want it...

The imminent arrival of my first llama prompted me to research an inexpensive way to expand my existing shelter. I wanted to be able to accomplish this project myself as it needed to happen quickly…

Perfect round bale holder for my front pasture. Thanks to my perfect husband. 12x12 roof, 8' hay ring.
