FAQs

What material is the Garden Gear Plant Protection Cover made of?

What are the dimensions of the large cover?

The dimensions for the large size are H:80 x W:1 x D:140 cm.

How does the cover protect against insects?

The fabric acts as a physical barrier, preventing insects and pests from reaching and damaging the plant.

Can this cover be used all year round?

While designed for winter protection, it can also be used in spring and autumn against late frosts or early pest invasions. However, continuous use in hot weather is not recommended due to potential overheating.

How do I clean the cover?

Will the white colour fade or degrade in the sun?

The material includes UV absorbing additives to resist degradation from sunlight, helping to maintain its protective qualities and colour over time.

Troubleshooting

Cover blows off in strong winds

Ensure the drawstring is pulled as tight as possible around the plant's base. For extreme conditions, consider using garden stakes or weights to further secure the bottom edge.

Plant appears waterlogged

Check if the drawstring is too tight, preventing drainage, or if excessive rain is accumulating. Consider slightly loosening the drawstring or ensuring the pot has adequate drainage holes. If the issue persists, temporarily remove the cover during prolonged wet periods.

Zipper is difficult to close

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to realign the zipper track and move it slowly. If resistance continues, check for debris caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
