Frost Blankets - Heavy Duty

Frost Blankets for Cold Weather Protection

Whether you’re a market grower or a home gardener, these useful frost blankets can help protect your crops from damaging frost. Unlike bedsheets, heavy-weight fabrics, and other covers- frost blankets are designed to protect plants without the risk of damage as they dry quickly and allow proper airflow.

Frost Blanket Weights

Bootstrap Farmer carries frost blankets in several weights. They are available in 1.5 oz, 2.5 oz, and 4.0 oz.

*These temperature estimates are based on daytime temperatures above freezing. Individual results will vary based on growing zone and location.

We recommend the 4.0 oz frost blanket for extra protection before a frost. It can be used with a 2.5 oz blanket for layered protection. The additional weight of this blanket provides approximately 4-8+ more protection than the 2.5 oz blanket.

The frost blanket can last up to three years when properly taken care of and stored. Make sure the blanket is dry, and store it away from direct sunlight.
