Outdoor Sun Protection

If you keep your plants outdoors, there are days when they need to be protected from intense heat during the hot summer months. And if you’re like me and you live in a very dry, sunny location, you might need sun protection all year long. Shade Cloths are used to help block out intense sunlight and to prevent sun damage and sunburn. These are for plants that need some protection from intense heat, full sun, or during a heatwave.

Cold and Frost Protection

DeWitt Frost Cloths provide protection from the freezing temperatures or frost. They help prevent cold air from coming in. The cloths need to be held down by objects such as rocks to keep them from being blown away. Frost cloths can be stored and reused the following year so they are a good investment.
