Product Information

Full details

Thermacrop is a robust, woven garden fleece engineered for gardeners looking to protect sensitive seedlings and established crops from frost damage down to -3ºC. It is ideal for allotment holders and vegetable growers who need a long-lasting, permeable barrier that fosters a warmer microclimate for faster growth; however, users should note that while it is durable, it requires proper securing to prevent wind displacement in exposed areas.

FAQs

Does Thermacrop block sunlight?

No, the material is designed to be translucent, allowing essential sunlight to reach your plants while still providing thermal protection.

Can I leave this on all year?

While it can be used throughout the year, it is primarily designed for frost protection. You may want to remove it in peak summer if temperatures become too high for specific delicate crops.

Is the fabric washable?

Yes, it can be hosed down with water to remove dirt. Ensure it is air-dried thoroughly before folding for storage.

Does this replace a greenhouse?

It provides a protective microclimate, but it is not a direct replacement for a greenhouse. It is best used as a cold-weather shield for outdoor beds.

How do I cut the fabric to size?

You can use a pair of sharp household or garden scissors to cut the material to any desired length or width without worrying about extensive fraying.

Troubleshooting

The fleece is blowing away in the wind

Ensure you are using adequate pinning or garden clips along all edges to anchor the fabric securely to the soil or framework.

Plants underneath are showing signs of dehydration

Although the fabric is permeable, ensure that rainfall or irrigation is sufficient; in dry spells, you may need to lift the edge to provide additional water.

Material has developed a small tear

Use a heavy-duty fabric tape or simple patch to repair the woven material; the durability of the fabric allows it to remain functional even after minor repairs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction lasts up to five years
  • Protects against frost down to -3ºC
  • Permeable for essential air and water circulation
  • UV-stabilised to prevent degradation in sunlight
  • Versatile for use directly on soil or over frames

Cons

  • Requires securing with clips to remain stable in high winds
  • Heavier than ultra-thin horticultural fleeces
  • Larger sizes may require two people for easy deployment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, drape the Thermacrop over your plants, ensuring enough slack is provided to allow for vertical growth. Secure the edges using garden clips, landscape staples, or heavy stones to ensure the wind does not lift the material.

For maintenance, the fabric is relatively low-effort; simply rinse it with a hose if it accumulates mud during the winter months. Before storing for the off-season, ensure the fleece is completely dry to prevent mildew. Store the material in a cool, dark location to extend its structural integrity over the five-year lifespan. It is compatible with most standard garden hoops and can be easily trimmed with sharp shears to customize it for smaller areas.
