Abimars Garden Fleece 3m x 10m 30gsm

This garden fleece roll offers practical frost protection for vegetable patches and tender shrubs, combining thicker 30gsm non-woven polypropylene with breathability and ease of use. It shields plants down to about -5 to -6°C according to the manufacturer, while still allowing sunlight, air and moisture to pass through so seedlings and established crops keep growing through the cold spell.

Key features

The 3m by 10m size covers a useful area without seams, so you can shelter rows or larger specimens with fewer joins. The fabric is slightly translucent and perforated with tiny pores, letting light reach leaves while passing rainfall and condensation. Its heavier 30gsm weight is thicker than many standard fleeces, which helps germination and early growth for seeds and cuttings. It is described as robust enough for more than one season and resists tearing when handled.

Why it makes sense

This fleece balances protection and permeability, so you reduce frost risk without creating a humid microclimate that might encourage disease. The extra thickness helps bring on seeds quicker than lighter 15gsm options, which can be useful when you want a small edge on germination in early spring. The roll can be cut with ordinary scissors and secured with soil, stones or staples for a simple seasonal cover.

How to use it

Unroll and drape the fleece loosely over plants so foliage is not crushed. Leave ends anchored with soil or heavy objects, or pin through to a frame for taller crops. For reuse, machine wash or hand wash gently and fold away until next season. It’s a straightforward, reusable layer of insulation for coldframes, unheated greenhouses and open beds that helps protect tomatoes, peppers pumpkins strawberries and similar tender plants.
