Description
A light fleece layer for spring planting
Cover a long, narrow planting row with white 17gsm horticultural fleece. This 1.1m × 10m sheet opens into one flexible piece, ready to drape or cut to suit your garden.
The fine non-woven fabric lets light, air and water through, making a permeable covering around suitable plants.
One folded sheet supplied. Plants and fixing materials are separate.
Fine fabric that stays permeable
The actual fabric photograph shows the light, fibrous structure of this spring-grade fleece. Air, light and water can pass through it; it does not form a waterproof barrier over the planting.
The fabric is UV protected. Its 17gsm rating means 17 grams of material per square metre, not a temperature limit or the complete pack’s weight.
Choose protection according to the plants and local conditions. No minimum-temperature rating is specified for this sheet.
Measure over the plants, not just the soil
The 1.1m width must reach across the planting and out to your fixing points.

Flat sheet dimensions · 11m² of fabric
Allow enough material for the rise over the plants and spare edges. The 11m² figure is the fabric laid flat; it is not the ground area covered after draping and securing.
For several smaller covers, plan the cuts within the original 1.1m × 10m rectangle. Each piece needs its own allowance for the plants and fixing method.
Place it loosely and keep access
Plan how the cover will be held and lifted before fastening the edges.
Position the length
Unfold the sheet along the row, leaving slack around the plants. Check the full width and fixing allowance before cutting or fastening it in place.
Secure with care
Use suitable weights or anchors for the location and handle the light fabric gently around fixing points. Pegs and supports are sold separately.
Inspect the planting
Keep the cover easy to lift for checking plants, watering and harvesting. Recheck its position and the conditions underneath as the weather changes.
Questions about the 17gsm sheet
How much planting area will it cover?
The sheet measures 1.1m × 10m laid flat, giving 11m² of fabric. Covering plants uses some width and length, as does securing the spare edges. Measure along the route the fleece will follow and include the plant height. A bed already 1.1m wide needs extra width once those allowances are included.
Is this insect mesh?
This is non-woven horticultural fleece. No mesh-aperture or insect-exclusion rating is specified for it, so we do not promise that it will exclude a particular pest. Its confirmed properties are a lightweight 17gsm fabric, UV protection and permeability to light, air and water.
Does 17gsm mean it protects down to a particular temperature?
No. 17gsm describes the weight of a square metre of fabric. This is the lightweight spring grade, and no minimum-temperature rating is stated. The needs of the plants, the site’s exposure and the weather determine the protection required. Continue checking the planting while it is covered.
Can the sheet be cut, and are fixings included?
The pack contains one folded white sheet, 1.1m wide and 10m long. It can be cut into smaller pieces after allowing enough material for draping and securing each one. Pegs, supports and other fixing materials are not included. Choose appropriate fixings separately and handle the fine fabric carefully around them.
