Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Thermacrop is a professional-grade garden fleece alternative designed for gardeners who need reliable, long-term plant protection against frost, cold winds, and temperature fluctuations. It is ideal for those looking to accelerate seed germination and extend their growing season into the autumn, though it requires secure anchoring to prevent it from blowing away during high winds.

FAQs

Can I water my plants through the Thermacrop fabric?

Yes, the woven structure is designed to be permeable, allowing water and liquid fertilizer to pass through to the soil.

Does this fabric block sunlight?

No, it is specifically designed to allow enough light to reach your plants for photosynthesis while providing thermal protection.

How long will this product last?

With proper care and storage during the off-season, Thermacrop has a life expectancy of up to five years.

Will this protect against heavy snow?

It is designed for frost protection down to -3ºC. While it can handle light snow, heavy accumulation may press the fleece into the plants and cause physical damage; ensure the fabric is supported by hoops in areas prone to snow.

Can it be cut to size?

Yes, you can easily cut the fabric with scissors to fit specific bed shapes without the material fraying significantly.

Troubleshooting

The fleece keeps blowing off the garden bed.

Ensure that at least 15-20cm of the material is overlapping the edges of the bed and use heavy, non-abrasive weights or specialized ground pegs every 50cm.

Plants underneath are wilting.

Check that the fleece is not too tight against the foliage. While the material is breathable, very hot days might cause heat buildup; ensure there is adequate airflow around the edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resists damage from harsh sunlight due to UV stabilisation
  • Lasts up to five years with proper care
  • Protects tender plants from temperatures down to -3ºC
  • Lightweight and flexible, making it easy to install over various crop types
  • Permeable design allows for natural irrigation and aeration

Cons

  • Requires manual anchoring to secure in windy conditions
  • Not suitable for temperatures colder than -3ºC
  • Requires storage during the off-season to maintain the 5-year lifespan

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply drape the fleece over your plants or support it using hoops to create a tunnel. It is essential to weigh down the edges with heavy stones, bricks, or specialized garden staples to prevent wind uplift. Because the material is UV-stabilised, it is designed for outdoor longevity; however, for maximum lifespan, we recommend gently cleaning it with water to remove soil and debris before storing it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not store the material while it is wet, as this can encourage mold growth over long periods of storage.
