Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Thermacrop 2m x 20m garden fleece is an ideal solution for allotment holders, kitchen gardeners, and nursery enthusiasts looking to protect tender crops from frost and accelerate growth. By providing a durable barrier against temperatures as low as -3ºC while maintaining essential airflow, it offers a robust alternative to fragile standard fleeces; however, users should ensure it is properly anchored to prevent displacement during heavy wind conditions.

FAQs

Can I water my plants through the fleece?

Yes, Thermacrop is permeable and allows water, air, and light to pass through to your plants.

How long will the fleece last?

With proper care and storage, the UV-stabilised fabric can last up to five years.

Will this protect plants from insects?

While its primary purpose is temperature regulation, the dense woven structure acts as a physical barrier that can discourage some larger garden pests.

Should I keep it on during the summer?

It is generally recommended to remove the fleece once temperatures consistently stay above the risk of frost to allow for optimal airflow and pollination.

Is it safe for young seedlings?

Yes, it is lightweight enough for delicate seedlings while providing the warmth they need to establish roots.

How do I cut the fabric to size?

The fabric can be easily cut with standard garden shears or scissors to fit your specific beds.

Troubleshooting

The fleece keeps blowing away in the wind.

Ensure you are using enough ground pegs or pinning the edges down with heavy stones or bricks at closer intervals.

Plants are hitting the fabric as they grow.

Use garden hoops to elevate the fleece or loosen the tension to provide more headroom for taller crops.

Water pooling on top of the fleece.

Adjust the slope of your support structure or add more hoops to ensure the fleece has a peaked shape, allowing rain to run off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable than traditional thin garden fleeces
  • Allows water and light penetration for healthy plant development
  • UV resistant material ensures multi-year usage
  • Easy to cut and tailor to specific garden layouts
  • Provides a reliable barrier against both wind and frost

Cons

  • Requires careful anchoring to prevent lifting in high winds
  • Less transparent than glass or plastic cloches
  • Large roll size may be cumbersome for small individual pots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Thermacrop fleece, clear the area of debris and drape the fabric loosely over your plants or support hoops. Ensure that there is enough slack so that growing plants can push against the material without straining the fabric. Use ground pegs, stones, or landscape staples to secure the edges firmly into the soil to prevent the wind from displacing it.

Compatibility is broad, as it works well with all standard garden hoops, timber-framed raised beds, or can be laid directly over sturdy, low-growing crops. For maintenance, simply shake off any dirt or debris after the growing season. If it becomes heavily soiled, gently rinse it with water and allow it to dry completely before folding it for storage in a dry, dark place to maximize the longevity of the UV stabilizers.
