How to make a Bedmax bed
The great majority of horse owners know very well how to make and maintain a bed.
But we offer a few tips nevertheless on the best way to make the most of the benefits that BEDMAX has to offer.
When made and maintained properly, a BEDMAX bed will give your horse more comfort and protection, and give you less work and less expense. The average empty loose box or stable will hold between 5 and 7 bags of Bedmax, depending on the depth of the bed you make. Each Bedmax bag is pressure packed and contains a consistent volume of shavings that will cover about 2 to 3 square metres.
- Use a purpose-made shavings fork with close tines to loosen and aerate the packed shavings, and to spread them evenly.
- Create a level bed between 6 and 9 inches deep, covering the entire floor but leaving space at the doorway to minimise spillage.
- Build a bank of shavings about 12 to 18 inches high along each wall to help prevent horses being cast when rolling.
- Your Bedmax bed is now ready. One fresh bag every 2 or 3 days should be all you need to maintain it in good condition.
