2 Pack Plant Fleece Frost Protection Covers (60gsm, 80x100cm) with Gloves – Winter Garden Plant Covers for Pots
Product description
The essentials
If you grow anything outdoors in a typical UK winter, frost protection is one of those “nice to have” jobs that quickly turns into a must when nights get sharp. This 2 pack of plant fleece frost covers is aimed at protecting potted plants (and other smaller outdoor plants) from cold snaps and messy weather, while still letting through the kind of light and moisture your plants need.
The set also includes 1 pair of gloves for handling, which sounds small, but it can make a difference when you’re fitting covers over stems and checking plants in early mornings. It’s not designed to be a greenhouse replacement, but for temporary protection and garden cover days, it’s a practical approach.
Worth considering if you want something easier to put on and take off than bulky barriers, especially when you’re doing this repeatedly through the cold season.
What you get and how it’s meant to work
This package includes 2 plant fleece covers plus 1 pair of gloves. Each cover is made from a non-woven polypropylene fabric (listed as 60gms / 60g per m²) and is intended to act as a breathable frost cover.
On paper, the idea is simple: the fleece provides protection against harsh conditions such as frost, strong winds, heavy rain and snow, while remaining breathable so it doesn’t trap everything in a way that could stress plants. There’s also an adjustable drawstring to secure the base tightly, which should help reduce wind getting underneath.
There’s a side zipper too, aimed at faster installation and removal. That matters when you want to lift the cover briefly to water or inspect the plant, then put it back without wrestling with the whole thing.
A small “real world” moment: if you’ve got a potted citrus on a patio, you can slide the cover over in the evening, tighten the drawstring at the base, and then open the side using the zipper later the next day just to check soil moisture—without fully removing it.
Key points for choosing this cover
The cover is sized at 80x100cm, which makes it more of a targeted protection solution than something for large shrubs or big trees. It’s positioned for smaller outdoor plants such as tropical plants, shrubs and citrus trees (as described), and it’s also presented as useful for shielding young seedlings and ornamental plants.
The material is described as having tear resistance, with stitch-reinforced edges and weatherproof seams to help it last across seasons. It’s also described as UV resistant and breathable, with the goal of balancing insulation (warmth and humidity) against airflow and light penetration.
There’s also an added angle: the fleece is said to help keep birds, insects, deer and poultry at bay. That can be handy if your problem isn’t only cold weather.
What stands out in everyday use
The main win here is the combination of breathable fleece plus a practical closure system.
- Zipper for access: The side zipper is meant for quick installation/removal and easier watering/inspection during cold months.
- Drawstring for stability: The adjustable drawstring is intended to secure the base tightly and improve windproof stability.
- Lightweight feel: It’s described as lightweight compared with bulkier alternatives, which can make covers less of a hassle when you’re moving them around.
If you’re the type of gardener who actually does the checks (watering, quick inspection) rather than just covering and forgetting, the access design is one of the more useful features on this kind of product.
It’s also reusable: the fabric is described as machine-washable, with instructions to wash, air-dry and store for repeated seasons.
Limitations and what to double-check
This won’t suit every situation.
It may not be a great match if you’re trying to protect very large plants or awkward shapes, simply because the cover size is 80x100cm. It also helps to manage expectations: a frost cover like this is about protection and insulation, not creating a controlled environment like a proper greenhouse.
Another thing to keep in mind is that “breathable” is a balancing act. Depending on the plant and conditions, you’ll still need to check that the plant isn’t staying too damp or overheated during milder spells.
Before buying, it’s worth measuring what you want to cover (height and overall spread) and thinking about how you’ll secure the drawstring around pots or the base. A good fit matters more than people assume with fleece covers.

Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you’re looking for lightweight, breathable fleece covers to protect smaller outdoor and potted plants from frost and winter weather, and you want something that’s easier to open for watering and inspection thanks to the side zipper. The drawstring and windproof intent are also likely to help if you get breezy conditions where your plants sit.
You may want to skip it if your plants are larger than 80x100cm or if you’re expecting greenhouse-level control. In those cases, you’d likely be better off with more substantial protection tailored to bigger plant volumes.
Overall, this is a sensible “winter garden routine” purchase: reusable, designed for repeated use, and practical for the day-to-day job of covering and checking plants.
Mini FAQ
Will this cover help with pests as well as frost?
The description says it’s intended to keep birds and insects at bay, alongside protection from deer and poultry. Whether that fully works in your garden depends on how your plants are positioned and what exactly is causing the issue.
Is it easy to open for watering?
Yes, it includes a side zipper specifically described for quick installation and removal, including watering and inspection in cold months.
Can it be reused year after year?
It’s described as reusable and machine-washable, with guidance to wash, air-dry and store when not in use.
What plants does the size suit best?
The product is presented for smaller plants such as potted garden plants, shrubs and citrus trees, but you should still check that the 80x100cm cover can fit over your plant shape with enough room to secure the drawstring.
Is this a replacement for a greenhouse?
No—this is better thought of as a frost and winter weather cover. It’s designed to protect while staying breathable, not to replace controlled growing conditions.
