We build a "thatched" cap to the stack, much like the thatched roofs of cottages. You can arrange the bunches of hay so that the top will shed water. That is what we are getting ready to go just before the video ends.
Also I should mention, that in the process of shedding water, the outside of the stack "grows a rind". It kinda makes a solid mass that lets the water run off. When the hay is fed, this outside rind is pulled away and the inside of the stack is good. Typically you will lose about 2 inches into the stack and the rest will keep indefinitely.
