Secure Covers are made from an interlocking knitted textile which, unlike simple woven material, will not fray and fall apart when damaged. Although very tough Secure Covers are very flexible and follow the contours of the silage surface keeping the silage sheet in close contact with the silage, reducing aerobic spoilage. Secure Covers rough surface make them effective windbreaks helping prevent wind lifting the silage sheet.

During the development of Secure Covers we tested many different types of textiles and rejected covers made from simple woven material because they fray and fall apart when damaged. Simple woven material used to make silage cover is also very stiff and does not follow the contours of the silage surface. This together with poor windbreak characteristic can lead to aerobic spoilage.
