VidaXL Fleece for Plants 1000 g, Roll 1 x 10 m

VidaXL Fleece for Plants 1000 g on a 1 x 10 m roll is a non-woven protective covering designed for seasonal crop protection. This heavy-weight fleece reduces the risk of frost damage, shields young plants from cold wind and helps limit pest contact while remaining permeable to light, air and water vapour. Supplied as an easy-to-handle roll, the fleece can be cut to size and applied directly over seedlings, beds, shrubs or small fruit trees to extend the growing season and support plant establishment.

Advantages

The fleece combines a high fabric weight with breathability, providing thermal insulation without creating a humid, stagnant microclimate. It is lightweight to handle yet dense enough to reduce frost penetration and deter larger insects and birds. The roll format allows flexible use across different planting areas and is straightforward to cut, lay and anchor with pegs, clips or soil.

Suitable for

• Protecting seedlings and young plants from light frost
• Covering vegetable beds and flower borders during cold snaps
• Shielding shrubs and small fruit trees from wind and bird damage
• Temporary pest exclusion for brassicas, lettuces and other vulnerable crops
• Seasonal use in allotments, home gardens and nurseries

When it may not be suitable

This fleece is intended for seasonal protection and is not a permanent structural cover; prolonged outdoor exposure in harsh conditions will gradually degrade the material. It does not provide complete protection against large animals or against very severe frosts on its own and may need to be combined with additional insulating measures or physical supports for taller plants.

Key specifications

• Material type: non-woven textile (plant fleece)
• Fabric weight: 1000 g per roll (heavy-weight fleece)
• Dimensions: 1 m (width) x 10 m (length)
• Permeability: allows light, air and moisture transmission
• Form: roll, easy to cut and shape

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the roll, allowing overlap where needed. Lay the fleece loosely over plants, ensuring it does not tightly compress foliage. Anchor the edges with soil, garden pegs, stones or clips to prevent wind lift. For taller plants, provide supports such as hoops or canes before placing the fleece to avoid contact with delicate growth. Remove or vent the fleece during warm, sunny periods to avoid overheating and to allow pollination if flowering crops are under cover.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application: seasonal frost protection and pest deterrence rather than permanent shelter
• Required coverage area based on roll dimensions (1 x 10 m)
• Compatibility with existing support systems (frames, hoops or stakes)
• Expected lifespan and replacement frequency under local weather conditions

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the fleece during nights and cold spells, secure edges thoroughly, and combine with physical supports for taller plants. Periodically inspect for wear and replace when fabric becomes brittle or damaged to maintain effective protection.
