Straw stack sheets

Anyone used the Secure Covers + silage sheet over straw bales?
Why about the other available tarpaulin systems. ?

I used a Secure Covers sheet from @Great In Grass this year with a DPM underneath. Worked really well and about half the price of a Profitable Farming Tarp. I used it for some straw that I couldnt get in the shed and happy with the results. The sheet looks as good as new and should do a good few years.
The price of the sheet was less than the value of the top row of bales!

That's all good to hear. 👍

I bought the toptex 25m x 9.8m cover last harvest. I got 190 round straw bales under it in a 4,3,2,1 stack. I am pleased with it. My bales are slightly too big so the outer ones at the bottom have got a bit wet on the sides. I have tried tarps before and would say this is better.
