Installation Instructions
- “Condition” poly at 45° or above (the hotter the better), for 24-hours prior to installation, to minimize future expansion. A heated milkhouse or direct sunlight works good. Elevate liner off cold floor/ground and unroll for quicker heat absorption. Weight-down liner to prevent it from rolling back up. Allowing the liner time to “relax” vs wrestling with a “springy” roll, will save you installation time.
- Predrill poly holddowns (3/8″ holes at 12″ intervals, starting 1″ from end).
- If holddowns not used, refer to note below.
- Thoroughly clean old feed, dirt and moisture from manger to prevent musty odors.
- If 1/8″ liner is used, fill in manger holes and rough spots with ready-to-mix concrete, sand, or lime; to provide flat, underlying support. Many farmers will fill in holes, even if 1/4″ liner is used, to prevent water from ponding under liner and possibly creating musty odors, or if liner is to be driven over. Some farmers drill 3/8″ to 3/4″ holes in low-lying portions of manger floor and under water bowls, straight down to gravel base, to permit drainage (refill holes with sand to aid drainage).
- Unroll liner and turn over so inside of roll faces up toward ceiling. Position liner in manger so joints, if any, are away from drinking cups and are between cows (you don’t want cows to lick over joints).
- On flat mangers, mount flat holddown flush over liner as illustrated below and lag holddown to curb, using an 1/4″ dia. x 2″ L nylon nail anchors (1-1/2″ L if cement is sound). See “Nylon Anchor” instructions. Also lag where cement is uneven for a tight fit. Butt ends of holddowns together (because of smaller temperature variations in barn), to prevent feed from accumulating in cracks. Mount recessed holddown over liner. Reposition liner under curb and feed-alley holddowns to allow for expansion/contraction (see “Expansion/Contraction” instructions). Lag same as curb holddown.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are poly liners resistant to chemicals and feed acids?
-
Yes, HDPE poly liners are highly resistant to chemicals and feed acids, making them ideal for use in manure spreaders and feed handling systems.
- Can poly liners be cut or drilled for custom applications?
-
Yes, polyethylene liners can be easily cut or drilled to fit custom shapes, making them ideal for barn liner retrofits and livestock equipment upgrades.
- Can poly liners be used in curved or round surfaces like auger troughs?
-
Yes, poly liners are flexible and can be installed on curved surfaces like auger troughs, making them ideal for lining complex shapes in agricultural equipment.
- How do I choose the right thickness for a poly liner (1/8", 3/16", or 1/4")?
-
Choosing the right poly liner thickness depends on the application: 1/8" is suitable for light-duty use, while 1/4" HDPE liners are ideal for high-impact areas like manure spreaders and conveyor liners.
- How do I install a poly liner in a feed bunk or gutter?
-
Poly liner installation typically involves cutting to size and securing with fasteners or adhesives. HDPE liners are easy to drill and shape for custom fit in feed bunks and gutters.
- How does a poly liner help reduce noise in barns or parlors?
-
Poly liners act as noise-reducing barriers by dampening sound from feed movement and equipment operation, improving comfort in barns and milking parlors.
- How does liner thickness affect durability and flexibility?
-
Thicker poly liners offer greater durability and impact resistance, while thinner liners provide more flexibility for curved surfaces like conveyor liners.
- How long do poly liners typically last in agricultural settings?
-
Poly liners can last for many years in agricultural environments, especially when UV-stabilized and properly installed in barn liners and feed bunks.
- Is a UV-stabilized liner necessary for outdoor applications?
-
Yes, UV-stabilized poly liners are recommended for outdoor use to prevent degradation from sunlight, especially in exposed barn liners and feed troughs.
