Frost Cover - 17GSM

Featherweight Frost Cover Roll (17 gsm)

For the most delicate stage of your plant's life, our 17 gsm Featherweight Frost Cover offers gentle protection without hindering growth. This is our lightest and most transparent fabric, designed to be laid directly over emerging seedlings and sensitive blossoms. It acts as a "second skin," providing a slight thermal lift against the last of the winter chill and a barrier against pests, all while allowing maximum sunlight to penetrate. It's the perfect tool for getting a head start on the spring growing season.

Best For: Gardeners, market gardeners, and nursery operators needing the lightest possible protection for germinating seeds, fragile seedlings, and frost-sensitive blossoms where maximum sunlight and minimal weight are critical.

Key Features

• Minimal Frost Protection: Provides a crucial thermal lift to shield plants from the lightest of frosts (approximately -1°C), perfect for saving precious blossoms and tender new growth on marginal nights.
• Unrivalled Light Transmission: As our most transparent fabric, it allows over 90% light transmission, ensuring seedlings receive the maximum solar energy needed for strong, stocky growth from day one.
• True Floating Row Cover: So incredibly lightweight it "floats" on top of emerging seedlings without any need for hoops or supports, rising with the plants as they grow and preventing any damage.
• Speeds Up Germination: With spring planting just around the corner, this cover traps warmth and moisture at the soil level, creating the perfect microclimate to speed up seed germination for an early start.
• Effective Insect & Pest Barrier: Creates a breathable shield against small flying insects like aphids, whiteflies, and cabbage moths, protecting your spring seedlings from early infestations.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
