Key Features & Benefits

• +6°F to +8°F frost protection: Heavyweight coverage for emergency freeze events and reliable overwintering of sensitive ornamentals and tender crops.
• 2oz/yd heavyweight construction: Thicker, denser fabric retains more heat and provides a more robust barrier against hard frost compared to lighter row covers.
• 35% light transmission: Allows enough light for plant maintenance while prioritizing thermal retention - suitable for extended overwintering use on dormant or semi-dormant plants.
• Multi-season durability: Engineered for long-term use and reuse across multiple seasons, providing excellent value per application.
• 13ft x 300ft coverage: Large roll dimensions suited for efficient coverage of rows, benches, and field beds in commercial-scale operations.
• Available in widths up to 60ft: Suitable for a wide range of bed widths and greenhouse configurations.

Who Should Use This

AgroFabric Pro70 is essential for nursery operators, commercial growers, and landscapers who need reliable heavy-duty frost protection for sensitive ornamentals, overwintering containerized plants, and emergency cold-weather coverage for strawberries, citrus, and foliage crops. The heavyweight fabric is especially valuable when temperatures are expected to drop well below freezing and lighter row covers are insufficient.

Compatibility

Suitable for use over field rows, raised beds, greenhouse benches, and containerized nursery stock. Available in 13ft x 300ft and additional widths up to 60 feet for large-scale applications. Can be secured with fabric staples, sandbag weights, or DeWitt Clip-Its for a reliable hold in windy conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pro70 differ from lighter frost protection fabrics?

Pro70 is a 2oz/yd heavyweight fabric that provides +6°F to +8°F of frost protection and transmits only 35% of light - making it substantially heavier and more thermally protective than lightweight fabrics like Pro17 (0.5oz/yd, 95% light). Pro70 is designed for overwintering and hard freeze events rather than light frost protection during the growing season.

Can Pro70 be left on plants for extended periods?

Yes. Pro70 is designed for extended overwintering use. The 35% light transmission is sufficient for dormant and semi-dormant plants during the winter months. For actively growing crops, monitor closely and remove the fabric during warmer periods to avoid heat accumulation.

Is this fabric reusable across multiple seasons?

Yes. AgroFabric Pro70 is built for multi-season durability. With proper storage - cleaned, dried, and rolled or folded away from UV exposure - it can provide reliable protection for multiple growing seasons.

How should I secure the edges of the fabric?

Secure the edges by burying them with soil, using fabric staples, sandbag weights, or clip-on anchoring accessories like DeWitt Clip-Its. Proper edge sealing is also required for the fabric to function as an effective insect barrier when used during the growing season.
