Full details

These 1.2m x 1.8m covers provide a reliable barrier against frost down to -7 to -8°C, effectively shielding tropical and delicate varieties while maintaining essential air circulation. While these bags offer robust protection, they are intended for seasonal use and require proper storage to ensure the fabric remains effective over multiple winter cycles.

FAQs

Can I leave these bags on throughout the entire winter?

Yes, they are designed to be left on during the winter; however, it is recommended to remove them on mild, sunny days to allow the plant to breathe and receive extra light.

Do these bags keep the plants warm?

They do not generate heat, but they trap the ambient heat radiated from the soil and prevent heat loss, maintaining a microclimate that stays warmer than the surrounding air.

Will these bags protect against heavy snow?

They provide protection against frost, but heavy, wet snow may weigh down the fabric. Use support structures under the bag if you expect heavy snowfall.

Are these bags machine washable?

It is highly recommended to hand wash these in cold water to preserve the integrity of the 70g fleece fabric.

Can these be used for vegetable patches?

Yes, they are excellent for covering rows of winter vegetables to keep them frost-free and protected from pests.

What is the material made of?

The bags are made from a high-quality, durable 70g heavyweight horticultural fleece.

Troubleshooting

The cover blows off in high winds

Ensure the drawstring is pulled completely tight at the base. For extra security, wrap the string around the pot handle or secure it with an additional garden tie.

Plants appear to be sweating or getting moldy

Ensure the bag is not pulled too tight against the foliage. Use support canes to create a gap between the leaf surface and the fleece to promote better airflow.

The fleece has picked up garden dirt

Once the season ends, shake the fleece vigorously. For stubborn dirt, soak the bag in cool water and rinse thoroughly, then hang to dry away from direct sunlight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density 70g fleece provides excellent frost protection
  • Convenient drawstring closure ensures easy installation and removal
  • Breathable material prevents overheating and fungal issues
  • Effective at keeping common garden pests away from sensitive leaves
  • Reusable for multiple winter seasons if cared for properly

Cons

  • May require extra support stakes for taller, delicate shrubs
  • Not suitable for extremely deep freezes below -8°C
  • White color may show dirt or debris over time in outdoor environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: identify the plant needing protection, gently bundle the foliage if necessary, slide the bag over, and pull the drawstring tight. For the best longevity, ensure the fleece is completely dry before removing it in the spring. Shake off any accumulated debris, dead leaves, or slugs from the inside of the fabric. If the bags become soiled, they can be gently hand-washed in cool water and allowed to air dry completely. Store them in a cool, dry, and dark place—ideally in a sealed container or bag—to protect the fabric from UV degradation and rodent damage during the summer months.
