Troubleshooting

Cover blows off in the wind

Ensure the drawstring is pulled as tight as possible around the base. You can also use stakes or heavy objects around the base for added security.

Plants appear damp or waterlogged underneath

Check that the fabric is not saturated with condensation. Ensure adequate airflow; you may need to leave the zip slightly open during milder days or remove the cover during periods of sunshine.

Zip is difficult to open or close

Gently check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper track with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil if it feels stiff.

Fabric seems to be degrading after a season

Ensure the cover was stored dry and out of direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can degrade fabric over time. Consider using a UV-resistant spray if appropriate for non-woven fabrics.
