Product Information

Full details

Thermacrop is a premium, high-strength garden fleece alternative designed for gardeners looking to protect tender crops and promote faster seed germination. By offering superior thermal insulation compared to standard horticultural fleece, this durable fabric acts as a vital shield against frost, harsh winds, and temperature fluctuations while allowing essential air, water, and light to reach your plants. While it is incredibly durable and UV-stabilized for long-term use, the woven fabric is best suited for applications where it can be properly anchored, as its lightweight nature can make it susceptible to movement during heavy storms if not secured correctly.

FAQs

Can I water my plants through the Thermacrop fabric?

Yes, Thermacrop is permeable, allowing water and air to pass through freely so you can irrigate without removing the cover.

How long will this product last?

With proper care and storage, Thermacrop is UV-stabilized and designed to last for up to five years.

Does it block all sunlight?

No, it allows sufficient light transmission for photosynthesis while providing thermal protection.

Can I cut the fabric to size?

Yes, you can easily cut the fabric with sharp scissors to fit your specific row lengths or garden bed dimensions.

Is this product better than standard horticultural fleece?

Thermacrop offers better durability and strength compared to standard fleece, making it a more cost-effective, long-term choice.

Troubleshooting

The fleece keeps blowing off during windy weather.

Ensure that the edges are buried or held down with heavy-duty ground pegs at regular intervals, ideally every 50cm.

Plants underneath appear stunted or yellow.

Check to ensure the fabric is not overly compressed against the plants and verify that the soil beneath has adequate moisture and is not waterlogged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your Thermacrop, begin by clearing your garden bed of any sharp debris that could snag the fabric. For the best performance, ensure the material is laid flat but with enough slack to allow for plant growth height. Use garden-grade clips to hold the material taut to frames if using a hoop system.

Compatibility is high across most vegetable and ornamental garden types, including raised beds and in-ground rows. To care for the fabric, periodically check for debris or leaf buildup that could block light. At the end of the season, carefully shake off any soil, allow the fabric to dry completely to prevent mold, and store it in a cool, dry place. With proper storage, the material is designed to last for several years of consecutive use.
