Poly Ring Set
Poly Ring Panel Complete Set

Poly Panel Complete Set gives you everything you need to get started with the AGI poly ring! Poly Rings are the safest and easiest feeding solution we have found! Providing your grazing animals with 24-hour grazing, while keeping hay confined providing minimal waste. Poly Rings are easy to assemble and move around the farm.
Compared to the metal feeder, these Poly Rings are safer for all grazing animals. Over time, metal feeders will rust, corrode, and bend - leaving sharp, exposed edges that could potentially cause harm. In contrast, Poly Rings feature smooth, round edges with no protruding metal framework. Holds up in extreme weather conditions, they are weather-resistant and have been UV-stabilized to stand up to prolonged sun exposure. Poly Rings are made from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene. These Poly Rings will provide you with years of use and convenience.
Nag Bags are not just saving you time, but keeping your grazing animals more content, with forage lasting longer. Providing a cleaner environment, reducing the risk of ulcers, colic, cribbing, stall vices and inhalant allergies.

Things you may consider
-
The size of the net hole you choose depends on the type of animal you are feeding, its developmental stage, lifestyle, and what hay type you are providing. See our Net Guide for more information and our Hay Testing page.
general guide below:
1 inch: Ponies, miniature animals, and young mini goats and lambs will all do very well with 1-inch netting.
1.5 inch: This is our most popular size for equines, donkeys, mules, alpacas, goats, sheep, llamas, rabbits, and yes, even chickens!
2 inch: For larger breeds like drafts, warmbloods, working horses, young and older horses, and calves.
2.75 inch: For cattle and horses, when consumption is not an issue, just wanting to keep the hay in the feeder. The 2.75 is a great net, especially in colder climates. It can be used for older horses, growing, working & racehorses, and it works great for cattle. This net needs to be used in a feeder as its larger holes could be a hazard.
-
When introducing slow hay feeding hay nets, always provide loose hay along with the NAG Bag for the first week. Loose hay feedings assist your animal in learning how to "graze" from the nets properly, minimizes the chance of net damage, and prolong the life of your NAG Bag.
Remember, slow-feeding is only as good as the hay that’s being offered. Meeting the animal's needs is very important, and ensuring that you have the correct hay type will help ensure successful net feeding.

NAG Bags will benefit all equines, especially for the care of ulcers, colic, cribbing, aggression and nervous horses. Small but frequent meals are your best defence against the formation of ulcers and promote ulcers' healing. Veterinary-recommended NAG Bags support healthy digestion.

NAG Bags offers hay nets in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different needs.
The small-sized hay nets typically have the capacity to hold around 1-2 flakes of hay or a smaller quantity suitable for individual servings. These are often convenient for travel or shorter feeding durations.
The medium-sized hay nets have a larger capacity, capable of holding approximately 5-6 or more flakes of hay. These are ideal for extended feeding periods or for multiple horses.
The large-sized hay nets with the highest capacity are Round Bale and Large Square Bales. The capacity of these hay nets is tailored to accommodate the size of bales, measured in feet (width x height).
It's important to note that the exact size and capacity options may vary between different models or product lines offered by NAG Bags. It is recommended to refer to the specific product descriptions or reach out to NAG Bags directly for detailed information on their hay nets' size and capacity specifications.
-
NAG Bags can be used with shod horses. However, the nets should be placed in a tub, feeder, hay ring, or hung out of the pawing range. We do like to see the net in a lower position, if possible for a more natural foraging position.
-
When Nag Bags hay nets are property introduced, our customers find that their horses prefer to forage from the Nag Bag rather than loose hay. Trickle feeding is natural for them, and they know it. Choose the correct net hole size for your animal to match their needs and hay type.
Please view our Net Guide for more information. Still not sure; please call.

Our nets are constructed with longevity and animals in mind. Constructed with high-quality knitted nylon blend material ensuring that our slow feeders' hay nets can withstand rigorous use and maintain their integrity over many uses.
I purchased three of these hay rings with net toppers and have used them now for a month. In general they are terrific and make feeding round bales much more efficient and easy. And I have some thoughts/advice I would like to share:
1.) I assembled the rings by myself, but if you are not tall (with long arms) this is probably better done by two people. I have read reviews where people drilled new holes to make up for the fact that the rings are somewhat flexible and the holes don't always line up easily. I do not recommend that approach even if it means doing a lot of jiggling/shimmying the pieces together because once you have the bolts in loosely, you can then tighten everything up and they will cause the grooves to align exactly. Those grooves greatly increase the stability and sturdiness of the rings.
2.) Weaving the net topper onto the tubing is easier done if you let the tubing stretch out (It is initially rolled up to fit in the package with the net). I just opened it up and allowed the tube to sit around the newly completed ring overnight. Then it is in the right shape for going in the ring. I found that attaching the tube with velcro straps really made it more secure (some of my zip ties were too brittle in the cold weather we've been having).
3.) The ring is easily moved out to the pasture or grazing area by rolling it. The hardest part is tipping it up and then it will almost roll itself. This is where I give a big CAUTION: all of our horses were TERRIFIED of the ring. I had three ponies run through a fence to get away from it. Once I had arranged it over the new round bale, I caught one of the ponies and bribed him with lots of treats to approach the ring. When he realized there was hay there, he quickly settled down to eat and his buddies joined him. But I'm on the third bale with this ring now and they still get nervous when I tip it up to put it over a new bale.
4.) I was curious to see how the horses would adjust to net feeding since almost half our herd had not been fed with a net before. But I supplemented with some loose hay for about the first week, and they seemed to adjust without any issues. Also, it was interesting that especially the bigger horses will eat the hay down to the ground! Pretty cool! But my little Welsh ponies can't reach the hay it when it is down that far, so I either move the ring so they can finish the hay (usually just a day's worth), or I add the next round bale on top of the residual hay, so they can reach again.
5.) I love that the rings protect my young horses from catching little hooves in the nets or my shod horses from catching a shoe.
6.) I love that the bales are being eaten way more efficiently and the hay is staying palatable now that it isn't just being trampled and pooped and slept on!
All in all, I highly recommend these hay rings!!
I added an additional feeder to my farm last month and Linda went out of her way to help me avoid high shipping costs due to the postal strike.
We initially bought a poly ring round bale feeder last year to replace a conventional tombstone type feeder. It is so much easier to use and the horses seem to prefer it. The old feeder and the new poly feeder were side by side and the horses ate down the poly feeder first.
This year we bought another one. Our horses range from a 15hh Arab , 17hh+ draft crosses and Hanovarians to 18hh Shires. The 2” netting works for all of them.
Highly recommend the poly ring feeder.
We have used Nag Bags for years. I wish we had purchased the poly ring feeder sooner. No waste! Easy to flip over the bale! Horses no longer stand on the bag! Love love love it.
I ordered the 6’ ring and 2” net topper. It was fairly easy to assemble myself, and I used zip ties and drilled holes to attach the hay net ring to the inside of the feeder. I also have a regular roundbale net from nagbags with 1.5” holes, which has held up to daily use for the last 2 years without a single hole. I do put the netted roundbale in a metal tombstone feeder so the horses aren’t standing on it/pawing at it. I am looking forward to being able to move the poly ring around the paddock easily instead of wrestling with the metal tombstone feeder. Love these products!
