The lifespan of a typical hay cover depends on the material and how well it is maintained, but it generally ranges from one to five years. High-quality covers made from durable, UV-resistant materials like polyethylene or polypropylene can last several years, especially if they are regularly maintained, carefully secured, and properly stored.
However, exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as intense sunlight, strong winds, and heavy snow, will inevitably shorten the cover's lifespan. Regular inspections and maintenance, such as checking for and repairing tears or damage, will extend the cover's life.
