That's what I think. Not 100 % sure but I use these for huge plants on a covered but not enclosed front porch . As long as you cover them when the weather warms up, they'll be fine.
Selected User Reviews For the Planket Frost Protection Plant Cover, 6 ft Round
This is actually being used as a pool cover, and it's fantastic! When it rains, the water simply beads up on top of the cover, keeping the elements at bay! I simply hammer a stake into the ground and tie a string around it to keep it in place, and it works perfectly. I was able to remove it with little difficulty on my own, but it is preferable to have two people remove it if there is still water on the top. So, while I'm not using it for its intended purpose, it's perfect for what I'm doing with it. For your convenience, I've attached a photo.
It is simple to use and it lays flat in the shape of a circle. Drape it over your plant and pull the drawstring to close the bottom opening. However, the material is extremely thin and rips easily. A deer, or a raccoon, or anything else, could easily dismantle this thing. It'll protect you from frost and help you win, but don't expect too much.
This product is a flat piece of fabric with a drawstring, not a three-dimensional cube like shrub cover that I was expecting. Because it is not a gusseted product, it is difficult to cover a shrub, even a small shrub; however, it will cover a 16" x 16" shrub and the fabric weight is correct; the issue is that the drawstring pulls on the shrub branches as you tighten it. I couldn't get the cover tight enough to keep it from blowing away in the wind, so I tied the drawstring to the shrub's trunk, which appears to be working.
Excellent craftsmanship. It's a fabric circle with a 6' diameter and draw strings around the outside. Our blueberry is approximately 4 inches in diameter. I'm 5' tall, and this didn't even come close to covering it. The product is of high quality. It was simply a matter of getting a larger size.
In Michigan, the plant blanket only lasted one winter season.
It was impossible to cinch this product because it was so small. It is not something I would advise you to do.
I use the Planket to protect all of my plants from frost. Lightweight and long-lasting.
It's light and airy, which I like. On a windy night, however, I didn't secure it tightly enough, and it blew away. I didn't have to buy another one because it was stuck in a tree. We've had a lot of warmer weather than freezing temperatures, which has helped my befuddled flowers!.
