Full details

FAQs

Does Thermacrop block sunlight?

No, the material is designed to allow sufficient light transmission for photosynthesis while providing thermal protection.

Can I water my plants through the fleece?

Yes, Thermacrop is porous, allowing water and liquid feeds to pass through to the soil underneath.

How long will the fabric last?

With proper handling and storage, the UV-stabilized material is designed to last up to five years.

What is the lowest temperature this fleece protects against?

It provides reliable protection for crops against frosts down to -3ºC.

Can I machine wash this fabric?

It is not recommended to machine wash; gently rinsing with a hose and letting it air dry is the best way to clean it.

Should I bury the edges of the fleece?

Burying the edges with soil is an effective way to create a secure seal that prevents wind and pests from getting under the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fabric lifting in high winds

Increase the number of anchor pegs around the perimeter or place heavier stones along the edges.

Water pooling on the surface

Ensure the fleece is stretched tight over an arched frame to provide a slope for runoff.

Plants growing against the underside of the fabric

Remove the fleece or install taller support hoops to give the plants more vertical space.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly more durable than traditional spun-bond frost fleeces
  • Long lifespan of up to five years with proper care
  • Allows light, air, and water penetration for optimal growth
  • Excellent for extending growing seasons in both spring and autumn

Cons

  • Requires careful anchoring to prevent displacement in high winds
  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight, non-woven fleece alternatives
  • Limited to protection down to -3ºC

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, drape the fabric loosely over your plants or supports to allow room for growth. Secure the edges firmly using garden pegs, stones, or soil to prevent wind uplift. After the growing season, brush off any loose debris and allow the fabric to dry completely before folding it. Store the fleece in a dry, dark place, such as a shed or garage, to preserve its UV-stabilized coating. Avoid using sharp tools near the fabric to maintain the integrity of the woven polyethylene structure.
