the Planket Frost Protection Plant Cover, 8 ft Round

We first used these to cover some outside plants during cold weather. Worked great and protected our plants. But we found another great use for them. We covered our outside furniture with them during the cold season and better yet pollen season. Lightweight, durable and relatively inexpensive.

Provided usage required

Having bought some 6 ft rounds previously and finding them too small for anything but my 1 1/2 ft plants, I came back for these. Even the too small ones provide some benefit for layering under the larger covers. Our freeze season is short and sporadic here In S. Arizona and these work well to keep my plants green longer and to protect immature plants from dying. These are made of a heavy paper-type product, but are very durable. I've been re-using covers made of this type material, in white, for over 15 years and they're still useable, though bougainvillea thorns have necessitated some occasional repairs. They are far superior to the old bed sheets I used to use way back when. I replaced the cord on one of my previous round Plankets. The cord seemed to disintegrate after only one season, though the others bought at the same time have held up fine. It was very easy to replace the cord, so I consider this a fluke and only a minor annoyance. The 8 ft size allows me to cover a 3 ft potted grapefruit tree on my patio so that it looks like the display picture. These round Plankets have made covering my plants so much easier that I gladly give them 5 stars. If I find a 10 ft round, I'll be buying that next.

I had these before and bought more for this season. Much easier to use and very light.I got more plants this summer and needed more> Worked great on my huge staghornand are better than old blankets.

I did not find that this protector would cover a 5' tree as mentioned by another reviewer. Protector arrived with a dime size hole in the middle of the protector. Too much trouble to return and the cold weather had just arrived. Covered the hole with duct tape and found another cover to protect the lower half of the tree that was not covered by this protector. I've had this protector in the past and was happy with the protector's weight but, buy something larger if you have a plant that's over 4' high.
