Each hay cover should be carefully secured and anchored to prevent wind from displacing it. Start by choosing a high-quality, durable cover that fits well over the hay stack and can withstand the strain of wind drag without tearing. Use heavy-duty ropes, bungee cords, or straps to fasten the cover to the hay, or to surrounding anchors such as fence posts or stakes.
Ensure that the cover extends well beyond the edges of the hay and weigh them down with heavy objects like sandbags or tires to prevent wind from getting underneath and minimize flapping. Additionally, regularly check the cover for any signs of wear or damage and make adjustments as needed.
