Description
A winter covering for a smaller planting area
Arrange this 1.6m × 5m white frost fleece sheet over your planting, or cut it into smaller covers for separate areas of the garden.
The 50gsm winter-grade non-woven fabric is flexible and permeable to light, air and water. Leave enough slack for the plants and spare material at the fixing edges.
One flat sheet is supplied folded. Check the layout before cutting and choose suitable fixing materials separately.
Check the width as well as the length
Allow room for the cover to pass over plants and reach your fixing points.
5m length
width
Flat sheet dimensions · 8m² of fabric
The sheet is 1.6m across and 5m along when flat. Plant height and spare material for the fixing edges use part of those dimensions, so the 8m² fabric area is not the usable bed coverage.
Measure from one fixing edge, over the plants, to the opposite edge before choosing a size. If cutting separate covers, plan every piece within the full rectangle and include its own allowance for draping and securing the perimeter.
A breathable layer for colder weather
The fabric’s non-woven structure allows rain, irrigation water, air and light through the cover. Its white fibres form a soft, flexible layer around the planting beneath.
The material is UV protected. The 50gsm grade describes its weight per square metre, rather than a guaranteed frost temperature or the total packaged weight.
Check the needs of the plants and the exposure of the site when deciding how to protect them. This fleece has no specified minimum-temperature rating.
Fit the sheet with room to lift it
Leave access for checking plants, watering and harvesting.
Open out the full length
Unfold the sheet, check which way the 5m length runs and lay it over the area with enough slack for the plants. Cut it only after checking the fabric needed for each piece.
Secure the perimeter
Choose suitable anchors or weights for the site and hold the spare fabric at the edges. Handle the fleece carefully around fixing points to avoid tearing it. Fixings are sold separately.
Check as conditions change
Inspect the plants underneath and check that the sheet stays in position. Keep a way to lift or adjust it, rather than fastening it where routine access becomes difficult.
Before you cover the plants
Will it cover a bed that is 1.6m wide?
The sheet is 1.6m wide when laid flat. Plants add height to the route the fabric follows, and securing the edges also uses some width. Measure over the plants and out to your fixing points. A bed measuring 1.6m across will usually need a wider sheet once those allowances are included.
Can I cut several covers from the 5m sheet?
Yes. The non-woven sheet can be cut to suit smaller planting areas. First measure each piece, including the material needed to pass over the plants and secure the edges. The pack contains one 1.6m × 5m sheet; the number and size of smaller covers depend on how you cut it.
Does rain pass through the fleece?
Yes. The fabric is permeable to water, air and light, so it is not a waterproof shelter. Continue checking the plants and soil beneath it as part of normal garden care. The sheet’s purpose is to provide a fleece covering during colder weather, rather than to keep rain away from the planting.
What is included, and is there a temperature rating?
One folded white 50gsm sheet measuring 1.6m × 5m is supplied. Pegs, supports and other fixing materials are separate. No minimum-temperature rating is specified: 50gsm is the fabric’s weight per square metre. Plant tolerance, weather and exposure determine the protection your planting needs.
