Straw & hay bale protection covers
Applications
Ensure an optimum quality of your straw
Toptex® straw cover fabric effortlessly helps to ensure an optimum harvest quality at any given time of the year. Toptex® fabrics protect straw bales reliably against any impact caused by wind and rain, while providing effective respiration for the harvested good. Thus leading to a constantly high quality of the seasonal straw, which is preserved effortlessly throughout the whole winter period, drying off after any heavy rainfall while effectively avoiding mold development on the harvest.
Toptex® straw cover fabric is produced from green, continuous polypropylene filament at 130 g/m2 (3.8 oz/yd2) and available in the following sizes:
- 9.8 x 12.5m (10.7 x 13.7 yd)
- 12 x 25m (13.1 x 27.3 yd)
- 9.8 x 25m (10.7 x 27.3 yd)
Installation guidelines
Installation of the Toptex® fabric should always be at least around 45° degrees and very tightly adjusted to avoid loose "wavy" appearance leading to minor protection or leakage.

Please keep in mind - even if you have a large total number of bales that need to be covered- to insert a number between 80 – 200 bales as we only show the total amount per Toptex® protection fabric. Multiple fabrics can then be used for larger numbers.

The main benefits of Toptex® at a glance
UV stability for a service life of several years
The UV Stability of Toptex® straw covers is guaranteed for at least 3 years life-span, but can be prolonged when stored indoors during the period of non-utilization.
Tear resistance for resistance to wind and handling
Toptex® straw covers have also high values when it comes to proven tensile strength and tear resistance, (including but not limited to strong wind). This combined with quick drying properties even after heavy rainfalls make Toptex® straw covers a highly valuable application for outdoor storage.
Beading effect for rain protection
The outstanding benefit of Toptex® straw covers are their high water shedding ability which effectively maintains the straw bales properties at a high quality level when storing straw bales outdoors for prolonged periods of time. Additionally, Toptex® straw covers are highly resistant to wind lifting.
