This heavy-duty 30g horticultural garden fleece will protect your plants from frost and cold. The garden fleece provides superior frost protection, shielding plants and shrubs down to -5ºC. While effective against frost, it's important to consider the additional impact of wind chill. Ideal for tender plants, shrubs, and early potatoes, this horticultural fleece is crafted from UV-stabilised spun-bonded polypropylene for durability.

The fleece will also provide effective and economical greenhouse insulation, providing warmth without condensation. We have worked out some greenhouse insulation fleece kits.

We also sell a large range of fleece pegs and clips.

Water, light and air can all pass through the material.

How To Use

How to use Horticultural Garden Fleece

Individual Shrub Protection

Wrap the horticultural fleece around the shrub and secure it with string at the base of the plant. 

Greenhouse Insulation

In winter, 30g fleece may be fixed inside the glass to give a ‘double glazing’ effect.  It is easy to secure, simple to remove and reusable. In aluminium greenhouses, it may be fixed to glazing bars using clips or double-sided sticky pads.  In wooden greenhouses, it may be fixed to the glazing bars using drawing pins or double-sided sticky pads.  

Protecting Bedding Plants

30g fleece may be used for overnight protection of bedding and other plants which are being ‘hardened off’. 

Crop Protection

Certain vegetable crops may be damaged by winter frosts, in particular cauliflower.  Cover crops with 30g fleece during periods of cold weather. It should, however, be removed during spells of mild wet weather.

Protecting Early Potatoes

Early potatoes should be covered from planting, and the cover kept in place until there is no longer any risk of frost. 

Re-use of 30g horticultural garden fleece

If used with care, the material may be re-used several times.  It may be easily cut with sharp scissors. When not in use, store out of direct sunlight and in a vermin-proof environment.
