covering round bales

[dj]

what are ya'll using to cover your round bales
tarps from the farm store seem pricey
I tried lumber wraps(free from the lumber yard) a couple of years ago. The cheap gray tarps from Meg-Lo mart,the grommets tore out. This year I'm trying billboards!! found some
that were misprints and cheaper than REAL tarps. One covers
36 4x6 bales stacked one on two but doesn't go completely
down the sides of 6 ft bales. would work real well on 4X5 and 5x5's
if you decide to try these turn the printed side down kids cut the beer and cigerette logos out:-(

We use a haysave rtarp. They're procey but have lasted (so far) 5 years and are as good as when we got them. Because they breathe the hay doesn;t get musty/nasty and smells just like the day it was first tarped.\

We leave ours out in the paddock on their round side,they never last long enough to spoil.

We use those cheap tarps, pile the bales in a pyamid 6 bales -cut old inner tubes into bunji cords - hook them into the eyelets and slide a pipe or 2x4 into them and then hang wieghts on them--its important that the wieght is distributed equally
