Flo Hallaharso 19g 1.6 x 50 m roll

Flo frost netting is a lightweight and durable plant protection material that provides effective protection against weather conditions, pests and other environmental hazards. This 19 g/m² frost netting is 1.6 meters wide and 50 meters long, making it suitable for large cultivation areas and smaller garden crop protection.

The frost netting is made of high-quality polypropylene fiber, which ensures excellent breathability and light transmission. This helps create a favorable microclimate for plants, which improves germination, accelerates growth and protects sensitive plants from, for example, cold, wind and excessive sunlight. In addition, the netting effectively prevents insects and birds from attacking the plants, thus reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

The lightweight structure of the product allows it to be easily applied directly to plants without damaging delicate shoots or leaves. The frost gauze is UV-protected, which extends its lifespan and ensures long-term protection for plants throughout the growing season.

By using Flo frost netting, growers can extend the growing season in both spring and fall. It provides additional protection from night frosts and helps retain soil heat, which is especially beneficial for early plantings and sensitive plants.

Flo-frost gauze user manual

Preparation: Remove stones, branches and other sharp objects from the growing area that could damage the frost screen.
Installation: Spread the frost gauze directly over the plants, leaving enough slack to allow the plants to grow freely.
Fastening: Fasten the edges of the gauze to the ground using ground wedges, rocks or mulch to prevent it from moving in the wind.
Growth monitoring: Regularly check the growth of the plants and make sure that the gauze is not hindering their development. Adjust the position of the gauze if necessary.
Removal: When the plants are strong enough or weather conditions no longer require protection, carefully remove the frost gauze and store it in a dry place for future use.

How to choose the right frosting
When choosing a frosting, it is important to consider the following factors:

Weight (g/m²): Lighter gauzes (17–19 g/m²) are suitable for spring and summer use, while heavier gauzes offer better protection from cold temperatures and heavy rain.
Size: Choose the width and length of the netting according to the size of your growing area. It is recommended to choose a slightly larger size so that the netting can be firmly attached to the ground.
Material: High-quality polypropylene fiber offers good durability and breathability. UV-protected material extends the life of the gauze.
Air and light permeability: Good air permeability prevents moisture from accumulating under the gauze and reduces the risk of mold or fungal diseases in plants.

Warnings

Don't overtighten: A frost screen that is too tightly fitted can inhibit the natural growth of plants and damage their leaves.
Check the fastening regularly: Make sure the gauze stays in place in windy conditions, but do not press it too tightly with the fasteners.
Store in a dry place: Wet and poorly stored gauze can become moldy or brittle before the next use.
