Description

Fleece is a light weight crop cover made from spun bonded nonwoven Polypropylene PP. Its unique characteristics allow air, light and rain to pass through and it is designed to stretch as the crop grows. Fleece is mainly used to control temps. in early crop production. It offers exceptional levels of protection from frost, snow, heavy rainfall and drying effects of sun and wind and acts as a barrier to insects. Covertan is the original brand that Fiberweb first made nearly 30 years ago. It has the thickest fibres of any fleece made in the world which gives it its unique strength and reliability year on year.
Fleece is a relatively low cost crop cover which can be re-used for a second season if carefully handled.
It is possible to spray and irrigate the crop without having to remove the fleece. However, if spraying with sulphur or chlorine based products, this can damage the UV resistance and significantly reduce the lifetime of the fleece. Following such treatments, no claims can be accepted.

It will offer protection from wind, rain, frost, birds and insects. Because it is a light weight cover and the fact that it has to be removed during the summer it is not ideal for insect protection. It has been designed as a thermal crop cover to advance harvest dates and protect crops from frost.
