By Application

What Are You Protecting?

🌱

Seed Germination & Seedlings

Spunbound fabric creates a warm microclimate that boosts germination rates up to 90–95% versus 60–65% with straw. Allows full light and irrigation through.

Recommended: 0.5 oz Row Cover
🥬

Vegetables & Row Crops

Extend your harvest season weeks into fall and start earlier in spring. Protects tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, brassicas, and other crops from moderate frost.

Recommended: 1 oz Row Cover
🌳

Shrubs & Ornamentals

Protect established shrubs, perennials, and flowering ornamentals from hard freeze events. Heavier weight holds in more ground heat during extended cold snaps.

Recommended: 1.5 oz Row Cover
❄️

Trees & Full-Winter Overwintering

Keep citrus, fig, and other cold-sensitive trees alive through hard freezes. The 2.5 oz weight is designed to be left in place all winter on dormant plants.

Recommended: 2.5 oz Row Cover

Frost Blanket & Row Cover FAQ

What is the difference between a frost blanket and a row cover? ⌄
Frost blankets and row covers are the same product — just different names for spunbound polypropylene fabric used to protect plants from cold. "Row cover" typically refers to the same fabric used over planting rows in a growing season context, while "frost blanket" implies protection during freeze events. Both work the same way: trapping ground heat and blocking cold air while allowing light, water, and airflow through the fabric.
How much frost protection does each weight provide? ⌄
The heavier the fabric, the more frost protection it provides: our 0.5 oz cover provides approximately 2–4°F of protection, the 1 oz provides 4–6°F, the 1.5 oz provides 6–8°F, and the 2.5 oz provides 8–10°F. These figures assume the fabric is laid directly over or around the plant with edges secured to trap ground heat. Elevating the fabric on hoops increases airspace but can slightly reduce heat retention.
Can I leave frost blankets on during the day? ⌄
It depends on the weight. Our 0.5 oz and 1 oz row covers are designed to be left on continuously — they transmit 75–90% of available light so plants grow normally underneath. The heavier 1.5 oz and 2.5 oz covers reduce light significantly (50% and 30% transmission respectively), so for actively growing plants these should generally be removed on sunny days or whenever temperatures are above freezing.
Does water pass through frost blankets? ⌄
Yes — all of our frost blankets allow irrigation and rain to pass through the fabric, so plants don't need to be uncovered for watering. This is one of the main advantages of spunbound polypropylene over plastic sheeting, which would trap heat, burn plants on sunny days, and require removal for irrigation.
How many seasons will a frost blanket last? ⌄
With proper care, our frost blankets typically last 3–5 seasons. The fabric includes UV inhibitors to resist breakdown from sun exposure. To maximize lifespan, store rolled or loosely folded in a cool, dry place during the off-season and avoid dragging across rough surfaces. The 2.5 oz covers are the most durable and designed for repeated multi-season use.
What sizes are available? ⌄
We stock frost blankets in widths from 3’ to 50’ and lengths from 100’ to 2,000’. Commercial growers can order large rolls like 36’ × 1,000’ or 50’ × 1,000’ for field-scale applications. Homeowners and smaller operations will find sizes like 7’ × 100’ or 12’ × 300’ more practical. All seams are sewn (not glued) for added strength at the fold lines.
