Description
More width for your planting layout
This 3.2m × 5m white horticultural fleece gives you a broad sheet to arrange over a planting area, or cut into separate covers around the garden.
The 30gsm winter-spring non-woven material drapes loosely over suitable plants and lets light, air and water through. The fabric is UV protected for outdoor garden use.
One folded flat sheet is supplied. Measure over the planting before choosing a size, allowing spare fabric to reach the fixing edges.
Check the shape, not just the area
Measure over the planting to the points where you will hold the edges.

Flat dimensions · 16m² of fabric
The sheet is 3.2m across and 5m along when flat. Draping over plants uses material in both directions, and spare fabric is needed to secure the perimeter. The 16m² figure describes the fabric itself, rather than the bed area it will cover.
A 1.6m × 10m sheet also contains 16m², but it is longer and narrower. Choose the shape that fits the planting and fixing points rather than comparing area alone. If cutting several covers, measure and allow for the edges of every piece before cutting.
A covering that lets water through
The actual material photograph shows the white non-woven fibres. The fabric passes light, air and water, allowing rain and irrigation to reach planting beneath it.
This is UV-protected winter-spring fleece, rather than a waterproof sheet. Keep checking the plants and growing conditions while they are covered.
The 30gsm figure is the material weight per square metre. No minimum-temperature limit or light-transmission percentage is specified for this sheet.
Unfold, position and leave access
Allow room over the plants before securing the perimeter.
Choose the direction
Unfold the sheet beside the planting and check which way the 5m length should run. Position it loosely, with enough fabric reaching the fixing points on both sides and at the ends.
Hold the perimeter
Choose anchors or weights suited to your ground and conditions. Handle the fleece gently around the fixing points and avoid pulling it tight across plants. Fixings and supports are not included.
Keep an edge accessible
Leave a practical way to lift the cover for inspection and routine care. Check its position as weather and plants change, adjusting the drape or removing the covering when appropriate.
Questions about the 3.2m × 5m fleece
Will it cover a bed that is 3.2m wide?
The sheet is 3.2m wide when flat. Plant height, a loose drape and spare fixing edges all use part of that width, so a planted bed needs more fabric than its ground width alone. Measure the complete route over the plants between the intended fixing points before choosing.
Is this a roll or a fitted jacket?
It is one flat 3.2m × 5m sheet, supplied folded. It has no sewn jacket shape, zip or drawstring. Use it as a whole cover or cut it into smaller pieces, planning draping and fixing allowance around each piece before cutting.
Does the 16m² area mean 16m² of bed coverage?
16m² is the flat fabric area, calculated from 3.2m × 5m. The usable bed coverage will be smaller once material rises over the plants and reaches the fixing points. The 1.6m × 10m alternative contains the same area but has different proportions. Choose the width and length that suit the intended layout.
Can I water through it, and what does 30gsm mean?
The non-woven fabric allows water, air and light to pass through, so rain and irrigation can reach the planting. 30gsm means 30 grams of material per square metre; it is not a minimum-temperature rating. Choose protection for your plants and conditions and continue inspecting them while covered.
