[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 595274, member: 7795"] I've seen it done both ways. I think the theory behind the space in between would be better for hay [b]not[/b] covered as water will trickle down between them and won't be able to dry. Another reason is if the hay is a bit green or had gotten rained on before stacking, gives it a better chance or "airing out". I put mine in rows making it easier to cover and cut down on area exposed to weather. Needs to be properly cured and free of morning dew or moisture from rain before stacking tightly together. A feller not far from here has his stacked round side to round side and I cringe each time I drive by, especially because he has some double stacked. [/QUOTE]
