The Repair Kit for GutzBusta Hay Nets is a must-have accessory. This kit is designed to help you quickly and easily fix any holes that may develop in your hay nets, extending their lifespan and maximizing their utility.
Our repair kits are unique, containing an actual sample of the netting used in our GutzBusta Hay Nets. This means you'll be using the same high-quality material for your repairs as was used in the original construction of your net. The kit also includes extra repair string, made from the same durable material as the net itself.
The key to maintaining your hay net's longevity is prompt repair. From our experience, if you quickly mend any hole that is found, it ceases to pose a problem, ensuring a long life for your net. Delaying fixes allows holes to enlarge, which can decrease the lifespan of your hay net as your horse will naturally try to bury its nose in the hole, making it bigger.
Our repair kits come with twine for sewing up any holes, and for use with the supplied 'patch' of netting. Available in 3cm, 4cm, and 6cm sizes, our repair kits cater to both knotted and knotless varieties of hay nets, making them versatile and suitable for various types of nets.

Our Knotted and knotless hay nets are made from UV-stabilized polyethylene netting and have been in use for 8 years. They come in various ply sizes and are tough, durable, and easily repairable. They have been used by many horses and can last 2 to 6 years. Knotted nets are suitable for soaking hay and do not take on the weight of water. They are available in black and offer hole sizes of 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm.
On the other hand, the knotless hay nets are made from high-strength, UV Stabilised polypropylene and have been available since 2019. They are softer and do take on some weight when soaked. The deluxe knotless nets are considered more luxurious and have become popular due to their softness. They are the strongest on the market with 240 ply and come in hole sizes of 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm. Knotless nets are also only available in black.
When it comes to strength and longevity, there isn't a significant difference between knotted and knotless nets. Both types have proven to be tough, durable, and long-lasting. While some horses may prefer one material over the other, there is no way to predict which will suit an individual horse better without trying them. Ultimately, the lifespan of the nets depends on the individual horse and usage. Knotted nets have been used for 2 to 6 years without needing repairs, while the lifespan of knotless nets is still unknown after 3 years of use.
