Our super strong and frost-resistant fleece is perfect for those cold winter nights. We have used this fleece for many years, and it has worked wonders in protecting our plants in the winter.

  • Protects against temperatures as low as -10°C.
  • Durable enough to last for many years.
  • Rain resistant, keeping plants dry.
  • Breathable, allowing you to leave it on for days on end during long periods of cold weather.

Directions for use: 

Horticultural fleece is a versatile, breathable fabric designed to protect plants from frost, wind, pests, and harsh weather.

When to Use: Apply fleece when temperatures are 5°C and below, and during harsh weather such as hail.

How to Apply:

  • Drape Loosely: Cut fleece to size and loosely drape it over plants, allowing some airflow.
  • Secure Edges: Use pegs, rocks, or weights to hold the fleece down and prevent it from blowing away.
  • Avoid Compression: Ensure the fleece isn’t tightly pressed against plants to prevent breakage and allow air.

Using a Frame:

  • For added protection, use hoops or stakes to create a frame under the fleece, creating a mini greenhouse effect around the plants.

Remove During Daytime Warmth:

  • Take off the fleece on warmer days to prevent trapped moisture, then reapply in the evening for frost protection.

Storage:

  • At the end of winter, wash, dry, and store the fleece in a cool, dry place for future use.

This fleece is heavy duty and is 60 grams per square metre, nearly 4x as thick as other horticultural fleeces.

Fleece usage

Using fleece to protect your plants during winter is an excellent strategy and extremely cost-effective. 

Fleece creates a barrier between the plant and environment, keeping frost and rain off of your plant.

We use fleece at temperatures of 5°C and below as we have noticed the risk of frost increases at these temperatures.

The fleece we use, and also sell on our website, is an excellent fleece. It is strong, thick and durable. At 60 g/sm, it is 4x more heavy duty than regular horticultural fleece found at garden centres.

This is great as it gives us the assurance that it will prevent frost damage and the durability keeps holes and rips from forming. These holes can let frost to enter the fleece and damage plants.

In extreme cases, where temperatures are forecast at -2°C, the ground temperature can reach as low as -7°C and lower in cold pockets, so we will take extra precautions for frost damage. 

In these scenarios, it is advisable to double layer the fleece over your plants to make sure no damage occurs. Also, ensure there are no gaps in the fleece, making sure no cold air can get to the plants.

Pinning the fleece in place is advised too, as even a slight gust can move the fleece enough to expose the plants. Rocks and pegs are a great way to keep it in place for the night.

You can also use the fleece as a rain/ hail shield. It is water resistant and can keep your plants dry underneath.

It works much better if dry, so if it does get wet, ensure to dry it again for full frost protection effectiveness.

In heavy rain, it is advised to use two layers spaced apart, one keeping the plants frost free, and the other keeping the underneath layer dry.

Once the sun comes up and is shining on the area, you can remove the fleece and allow the plants to breathe. You can also inspect the plants at this point to make sure there are no pests resting in the warm blanket.

If the frost persists throughout the day, where forecasted temperatures don’t get back above 5°C in the day, keep the fleece on the plants. In an area with full sun, the plants will get enough light to stay happy underneath.

The fleece can be left on for days at a time with minimal impact to the plant’s health, but it is recommended to let the plants breathe and see the sun when the weather allows.
