Product Information

Full details

Thermacrop is a robust, woven garden fleece designed for avid gardeners, allotment owners, and commercial growers who need reliable frost protection for sensitive crops. By providing a thermal barrier against temperatures as low as -3ºC while maintaining essential airflow and light penetration, it promotes significantly faster seed germination and healthier plant development. While it is an incredibly durable solution for large-scale coverage, users should note that the substantial 4m x 20m size is best suited for expansive garden beds or long rows rather than small container gardening.

FAQs

Can I water my plants through the Thermacrop?

Yes, the woven structure is porous enough to allow water to pass through to the soil.

Does this product provide protection against pests?

While its primary purpose is thermal protection, the fine weave also acts as a physical barrier against many common flying garden pests.

Is it safe to leave this on permanently?

It is recommended to remove it once the risk of frost has passed to allow for optimal pollination and air circulation.

How do I cut the fabric to size?

You can use standard sharp garden shears or heavy-duty scissors to cut the fabric to your desired length without causing the edges to fray excessively.

Can I wash the fabric?

Yes, you can hose it down while it is laid out in the garden to remove mud or debris, then let it air dry completely before storing.

What happens if the material gets a tear?

Small tears can be mended with outdoor-rated adhesive tape, or the fabric can be patched using a scrap piece of the same material.

Troubleshooting

The fleece keeps blowing away in high wind.

Ensure that the edges are buried or anchored at intervals of no more than 50cm using heavy-duty garden pegs.

Plants underneath appear to be getting scorched.

This may occur during unseasonable heatwaves. Temporarily remove or lift the fleece to improve ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, long-lasting construction with a five-year life expectancy.
  • Effective at retaining warmth while allowing light and moisture penetration.
  • Lightweight and flexible material that is easy to cut and maneuver.
  • Superior protection against both frost and wind damage.
  • Generous dimensions suitable for professional or large-scale garden use.

Cons

  • Large format may be cumbersome for those with small individual pots.
  • Requires additional anchoring accessories like crop clips or pegs to stay secure in high winds.
  • Stiffness of the woven material is different from traditional soft fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install Thermacrop, simply unroll the fabric over your intended planting area. Ensure you have extra slack if you are draping it over taller plants to avoid damaging the stems. Secure the edges firmly using garden staples, heavy stones, or dedicated crop cover clips to prevent the fabric from lifting during high winds. If using over frames, tension the fabric slightly to shed rainwater effectively. To ensure the full five-year lifespan, periodically remove the fleece during peak summer months to allow the soil to breathe and to prevent the material from collecting unnecessary garden debris. Store the fabric folded in a dry, dark place when not in use during the off-season to preserve the UV-stabilised coating.
