Product Information

Full details

Thermacrop is a professional-grade, durable garden fleece alternative designed for home gardeners and commercial growers who need to protect tender plants and seedlings from harsh weather. It provides essential frost protection down to -3ºC while maintaining high permeability for light, air, and water, ensuring healthy growth. While it is incredibly effective at fostering early germination and shielding against wind, users should ensure it is properly secured against high winds, as the lightweight material can shift if not anchored correctly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I water my plants through the fleece?

Yes, Thermacrop is designed to be permeable, allowing water to pass through to the soil during rainfall or manual watering.

Does this product provide protection against pests?

While its primary function is frost protection, the dense mesh acts as a physical barrier against common garden pests like birds and larger insects.

How do I secure the edges?

You can use metal or plastic ground pegs, bricks, or even shovel soil over the edges to ensure a tight seal against the wind.

Is it safe to leave on during the day?

Yes, it is designed to let in sunlight and air, so it does not need to be removed daily unless extreme heat is expected.

How long will Thermacrop last?

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

Troubleshooting

Fabric lifting or blowing away in the wind

Ensure you are using high-quality ground staples or burying the edges of the fleece at least 10cm deep into the soil.

Plants underneath appearing yellow or stressed

Check if the fleece is too tight against the leaves or if there is a lack of moisture; ensure enough space is left for growth and check soil hydration.

Difficulty unrolling or handling

Work on a calm day to prevent the wind from catching the lightweight material and consider cutting to size before laying it out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects plants from frost down to -3ºC
  • Highly durable with a five-year lifespan
  • Allows essential water and light passage
  • Easy to cut and maneuver over various garden shapes
  • Encourages earlier seed germination

Cons

  • Requires careful anchoring in high-wind areas
  • Must be monitored for proper airflow in extreme heat
  • Not intended for heavy snow load protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Thermacrop fleece is straightforward. For direct coverage, simply lay the sheet over your seedlings and secure the edges with ground pegs, stones, or soil to prevent wind from lifting it. If using hoops, ensure the supports are sturdy enough to maintain the tension of the fabric.

Compatibility-wise, this fabric works seamlessly with all soil types and garden beds. Regarding care, the UV-stabilised material is low-maintenance; at the end of the season, gently shake off any debris, fold it, and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the fabric, as plain water and air-drying are sufficient to maintain its structural integrity for years to come.
