Cameo Fencing – The Safe Horse Fence for True Horse Lovers

Written by

On the farm, nothing is more important than safeguarding your livelihood, home, and horses. Proper hay storage is crucial not only for the health of your animals but for the safety of your property. Hay, when not stored correctly, can spontaneously combust, threatening your barn and all within it. Cameo Fencing is here for you.

Here’s how to ensure your hay is safely stored:

Keep it Dry: Moisture is the enemy of safe hay storage. Ensure each bale is thoroughly dry before storing. Wet hay can generate heat, causing it to combust.
Proper Ventilation: Your hay storage area should allow for plenty of airflow. Barns or sheds should have good ventilation to help hay dry evenly and prevent heat from building up.
Stacking and Spacing: Avoid stacking hay bales too tightly. Leave space between stacks for air circulation. This helps reduce the risk of overheating.
Frequent Checks: Be proactive—regularly check your hay for any signs of heat. A hay thermometer can be used to monitor temperatures within the stack.
Separate Storage: Store hay away from the main barn or horse stalls whenever possible. If a fire does occur, this keeps your horses and other livestock safe.
