How much do I need?

Put in your beds and we will work out the rolls. Our LowCat netting kit pairs a 24 m roll with a 20 m bed, so 4 m extra per bed is a good start.

0 m

    How to lay them

    Get your covers on

    Three quick guides. Print any of them for the shed.

    Fleece, netting or film15 minutes

    Cover a bed on hoops

    The tidy way, and the easiest to vent and harvest.

    In the box

    • A roll of fleece, netting or film, 2 m wide

    You will need

    • LowCat or other low tunnel hoops
    • U-stakes, sandbags or stones for the ends and edges

    Steps

    1. Set the hoops along the bed, 1.5 to 3 m apart.
    2. Unroll the cover along the top of the hoops.
    3. Pull it tight at one end and stake or weigh it down.
    4. Pull it tight at the other end and fix it the same way.
    5. Weigh down or bury the long edges so the wind cannot get under.

    Tip: On LowCat hoops the shock cord holds the cover in place, so you can lift the sides to vent and harvest.

    Fleece or netting5 minutes

    Drape a cover straight over a crop

    No hoops needed. Both are light enough to sit on the plants.

    In the box

    • A roll of fleece or fine insect netting

    You will need

    • Sandbags, stones or soil to weigh the edges

    Steps

    1. Lay the cover loosely over the crop, with some slack so the plants can grow.
    2. Weigh down the edges all the way round.
    3. Check after strong wind and re weight any edges that have lifted.

    Tip: Netting keeps out the smallest insects only if there are no gaps, so close up the edges well.

    Weed membrane30 minutes

    Lay weed membrane and plant through it

    For planting beds, paths and under woodchip or gravel.

    In the box

    • A roll of woven weed control membrane, 100gsm

    You will need

    • Sharp knife or scissors
    • Pins, stones or soil for the edges

    Steps

    1. Clear and level the ground.
    2. Roll out the membrane and fix the edges down.
    3. Cut a cross where each plant goes and plant through it.
    4. For paths, spread woodchip, gravel or stone on top.

    Tip: Water and air pass through the weave, so you can water straight over the top.
