Frost Brolly Pest & Winter Protection Plant Umbrella Dome
The Frost Brolly Pest & Winter Protection Plant Umbrella is a revolutionary solution to provide year-round protection for your fruits, vegetables, herbs, and plants. During spring and summer, the robust 4mm diameter mesh netting serves as a barrier, effectively deterring birds, cabbage whites, insects, pets, and other pests from damaging your delightful edibles. As the seasons transition to autumn and winter, you can easily attach the included 50gsm fleece cover, which provides optimal insulation for vulnerable plants, shielding them from the cold down to approximately -8°C.
Using the Frost Brolly is incredibly straightforward. Simply open the brolly, insert the spike into the ground until it sits flush (around 20cm), and secure it with pegs. When cooler weather arrives, place the fleece cover over the top and use our fleece pins to anchor it to the ground, ensuring maximum protection for your plants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for plant protection?
The best choice depends on your needs. Fleece provides insulation while allowing light and water through, mesh offers breathable protection against frost and pests, and plastic traps heat and moisture, making it ideal for seedlings.
How do I choose the right size plant cover?
Measure your plant area to ensure a snug fit, preventing wind from loosening the cover. Adjustable covers work well for growing plants, while taller plant covers are best for trees and large shrubs.
How effective are plant fleeces in protecting against frost?
Plant fleeces are great for mild frosts, trapping warmth from the soil. For harsher conditions, rigid covers like greenhouses or cloche-style protectors offer better insulation and protection.

How do I maintain plant covers for long-term use?
Clean plastic cloches to prevent algae growth and inspect fleece covers for wear. Store them in a dry place when not in use to extend their lifespan, and replace any damaged sections to ensure continued protection for your plants.
