We have been very impressed with its durability. UltraNet is made from ultra high weight polyethylene and is 15 times stronger than steel. We were skeptical at first because the net is thin and feels like plastic. In use … it softens up and feels like cotton. It also shrinks when it is in use – so we quote the net size as 1.75″-\u0026gt;1.25″ in areas of high use. Check out the photos below, and if you have a horse that puts holes in nets, consider the UltraNet. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dream Star","offers":[{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689661499,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784323858491,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689694267,"sku":null,"price":1045.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784323891259,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689727035,"sku":null,"price":1045.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784323924027,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689759803,"sku":null,"price":1094.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard (12\") \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784323956795,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689792571,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784323989563,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689825339,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324022331,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689858107,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324055099,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689890875,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mini (5\") \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324087867,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689923643,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Standard (1.6\") \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324120635,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689956411,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Small (1.25\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324153403,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657689989179,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ OptiNet Large (2.5\") (+$50) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324186171,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Carter Gold","offer_id":43657690021947,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Micro-Mini No Legs (+$100) \/ UltraNet (1.75\"- 1.25\") (+$99) \/ Dorian Gray","offer_id":43784324218939,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/1899\/5515\/files\/optimizer_002_1.jpg?v=1781561197"},{"product_id":"optimizer-install-slow-feed-hay-feeder","title":"OptiMizer InStall - Slow Feed Hay Feeder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe OptiMizer InStall is like a “pasture in a box” for a horse.
