Description
A winter cover you can shape around your plants
Cover a row of vegetables, drape over low planting or cut a piece for a smaller area with white 50gsm frost protection fleece.
The non-woven fabric lets light, air and water through, while providing a cover for plants during colder weather.
Supplied as one folded rectangular sheet in your selected size, ready to unfold and position.
Fleece fabric, rather than a plastic sheet
The fine non-woven structure provides a flexible covering without forming a waterproof barrier. Rain and irrigation water can pass through, along with air and light.
The fabric is UV protected for outdoor use. Its 50gsm rating describes the material weight, not a temperature rating or the weight of the complete folded sheet.
Plant tolerance, exposure and weather all affect the protection needed. This fleece has no stated minimum-temperature guarantee, so assess the conditions and the needs of the plants being covered.
Compare the six sheet sizes
Compare the flat dimensions below with your planting area before selecting a size above.
| Width × length | Flat fabric area |
|---|---|
| 1.1m × 5m | 5.5m² |
| 1.1m × 10m | 11m² |
| 1.6m × 5m | 8m² |
| 1.6m × 10m | 16m² |
| 3.2m × 5m | 16m² |
| 3.2m × 10m | 32m² |
The listed area is the fabric laid flat, not the ground area covered once it passes over plants. Include their height and allow spare material around the perimeter for securing. A 1.6m × 10m sheet and a 3.2m × 5m sheet both contain 16m² of fabric, but suit different bed shapes.
Position, secure and check
Use the spare fabric at the edges to keep the cover in place.
Unfold over the area
Open out the sheet and check its orientation before placing it over the plants. Leave enough slack for their shape rather than pulling the fleece tight. The fabric can be cut if a smaller piece is needed.
Choose suitable fixings
Secure the perimeter using a method suited to the site and fabric. Ground anchors or weights are separate purchases; take care not to tear the sheet when fixing it or lifting it for access.
Keep the plants accessible
Check that the cover remains in place and inspect the plants underneath as the weather changes. Allow for access to watering, harvesting and any adjustments needed, rather than fastening the sheet where it cannot be lifted.
Questions about the 50gsm fleece sheets
Is this a fitted plant jacket?
No. Each size is a flat rectangular sheet of non-woven fleece, supplied folded. It can be draped or cut to suit the area you are covering, but it has no sewn bag shape, zip or drawstring. Check the selected width and length against the plants and fixing allowance; do not treat the listed dimensions as the height and width of a fitted cover.
Is the fleece waterproof?
No. This is permeable fabric: light, air and water can pass through it. It is intended as a garden plant covering rather than a waterproof rain shelter, pond liner or ground membrane. Choose it for its fleece structure and the needs of the plants; rain protection and water retention require a different type of product.
What does 50gsm mean, and how much frost will it withstand?
50gsm means 50 grams per square metre of fabric. It is a material-weight grade, not the total pack weight or a guaranteed temperature limit. No specific minimum temperature is stated for this sheet. The plant species, local exposure and severity of the weather affect what protection is needed, so the grade alone cannot guarantee frost-free plants.
Are fixings included, and what size should I choose?
One folded sheet in the selected size is supplied; pegs, supports, plants and other installation materials are not included. Measure the area, include the height of the plants and leave spare material for securing the edges. Use the flat-size table to compare widths and lengths, then select the required option above. The flat fabric area is not the usable bed area after draping.
