Description
Plan a longer spring cover
Use one 1.6m × 10m sheet of white 17gsm fleece along your planting row, or divide it into smaller covers for different areas of the garden.
This lightweight spring-grade fabric forms a loose, flexible covering over suitable plants. Light, air and water can pass through its fine non-woven fibres.
Supplied folded as one sheet. Choose your fixing method and accessories separately.
Measure the planting, then plan the sheet
Allow for the height of the plants and material at every fixing edge.
10m length
width
Flat sheet dimensions · 16m² of fabric
The full sheet is 1.6m wide and 10m long when laid flat. Measure the route from one fixing point, over the planting, to the opposite fixing point. The ground area covered will be smaller than 16m² because the drape and spare edges use part of the fabric.
The 10m length can be kept intact or cut into shorter covers. Before cutting, mark out each piece with its own allowance for plant height, loose fitting and securing the perimeter.
A light fabric layer for spring
The actual fabric photograph shows the fine white fibres and translucent structure of this 17gsm fleece. Light, air and water can move through it while the plants remain covered.
The fabric is UV protected for garden use. Its permeability lets rain and irrigation reach the planting; it does not make a waterproof shelter.
17gsm is the weight of one square metre of material. It is not a temperature rating, and no minimum-temperature limit, shade percentage or insect-exclusion rating is specified.
Leave room for the plants and for access
Check the drape and fixing points before securing the full length.
Lay out the length
Unfold the sheet along the area you want to cover. Position it with slack over the plants and check that the edges reach the intended fixing points without pulling the fabric tight.
Secure it carefully
Choose suitable anchors or weights for the ground and conditions. Handle the fine fleece gently around fixing points. Pegs, weights and any supports are separate from this one-sheet pack.
Keep a way in
Leave an accessible edge to lift for inspection and normal garden care. Check the plants and the cover as conditions change, adjusting the fabric as needed.
Questions about the 1.6m × 10m sheet
Does this give me 16m² of ground coverage?
16m² is the flat fabric area: 1.6m multiplied by 10m. Material used over the height of the plants and around the fixing edges reduces the ground area covered. Measure the complete route over your planting and out to the fixing points before choosing the sheet size.
Can the 10m length be divided into shorter covers?
Yes. This is a flat non-woven sheet that can be cut into smaller pieces. Plan each piece before cutting and include enough fabric for loose draping over the plants and securing all edges. One folded sheet is supplied, without sewn sleeves, zips or attached fixings.
Can I use it as insect netting or a rain cover?
This fleece is permeable to water, air and light. It is not a waterproof rain cover, and no mesh size or insect-exclusion rating is specified. Choose rated insect netting if that is the protection your crop needs. Continue checking the planting and conditions when using fleece.
What does spring-grade 17gsm mean?
17gsm describes the lightweight material weight of 17 grams per square metre. This grade is intended for spring plant covering. No minimum-temperature performance is specified, so it should not be treated as a guarantee against frost damage. Match plant protection to the plants, exposure and forecast weather.
