Description
A spring sheet to suit your planting
Cover a planting area with one 1.6m × 5m sheet of white 17gsm fleece, or cut smaller pieces for separate groups of plants.
The lightweight non-woven spring fabric forms a loose covering that lets light, air and water through. Its flexible structure follows the planting beneath it.
Supplied folded as one sheet. Measure the fit and choose suitable fixing materials before laying it out.
Plan the cover in three dimensions
Include the rise over your plants as well as the length and width of the planting.

Flat sheet dimensions · 8m² of fabric
Laid flat, this sheet measures 1.6m wide and 5m long. Some of that fabric is used going up and over the plants and reaching the fixing points, so the ground area covered will be smaller than 8m².
Measure the complete route over the planting before choosing where to cut or fix the sheet. For several separate covers, allow loose draping and spare edges on each piece.
See the light fabric structure
The actual material photograph shows the fine, translucent white fibres of the 17gsm fleece. Light, air and water pass through the non-woven structure while the planting is covered.
The fabric is UV protected for garden use. It allows rain and irrigation through, so it is not a waterproof rain shelter.
17gsm is the material weight per square metre. No minimum-temperature limit, shade percentage or insect-exclusion rating is specified for the sheet.
Leave slack and a way to lift it
Check the shape of the cover before securing the perimeter.
Unfold and measure
Lay out the sheet beside your planting and choose the direction for the 5m length. Drape it loosely, checking that the edges reach your fixing points without pulling it tight.
Hold the edges
Choose anchors or weights appropriate to the ground and conditions. Handle the lightweight fleece gently near fixing points. Pegs, weights and supports are not part of this pack.
Check the planting
Keep an accessible edge for inspection and normal garden care. Check the plants and the position of the cover as conditions change, adjusting the drape when needed.
Questions about the 1.6m × 5m sheet
Will it cover a bed measuring 1.6m × 5m?
Those are the flat sheet dimensions. A planted bed needs extra fabric to go over the plants and reach fixing points around the edges. Measure that full route before choosing a size. The 8m² figure is the fabric area, not a promise of usable ground coverage over raised planting.
Can I cut covers for different planting areas?
Yes. The non-woven sheet can be cut into smaller pieces. Plan each piece with enough fabric for plant height, loose draping and securing its perimeter. The pack contains one folded flat sheet, rather than a fitted jacket with sewn sleeves, zips or attached fixings.
Does it keep rain or insects out?
The fleece lets water, air and light through, so rain and irrigation can reach the plants. It is not waterproof, and no insect-exclusion rating or mesh size is specified. Choose rated insect netting where that is required, and continue inspecting covered plants as part of normal garden care.
What does 17gsm tell me about the material?
17gsm means the fabric weighs 17 grams per square metre. This is the lightweight spring grade, with UV-protected non-woven material. No minimum-temperature performance is specified. Choose plant protection to suit the planting, exposure and weather rather than treating the GSM figure as a frost guarantee.
