Models
There are 4 different Frost Protek™ models. In general, use Medium or Large round models for wider pots/plants. Use the Bag model for taller pots/plants and hanging baskets. Use the flat sheet for row crops, small shrubs, and more.

  • Medium The Medium cover is the smallest model. Its round shape covers typical plantings in a standard size pot, or covers a grouping of smaller pots. It typically fits pots up to 14" in height. Drawstrings pull the cover tight around the base of the plant or pot and cord locks keep the cover in place. The maximum height of the cover is 32". The drawstring opening is 56" wide (112" circumference).
  • Large The Large cover is a larger version of the Medium cover. It covers plantings in larger containers and barrels, or covers a grouping of pots. Drawstrings pull the cover tight around the base of the plant or pot and cord locks keep the cover in place. The maximum height of the cover is 42". The drawstring opening is 56" wide (112" circumference).
  • Bag The Bag cover is a rectangle shape. It is 55" wide and 48" high. It's designed for hanging baskets and for upright plants like tomatoes. Drawstrings pull the cover tight around the plant and cord locks keep the cover in place. The Bag has straps which are placed on the hanging basket hook to keep the Bag in place while you use both hands to tuck in the plant and pull the drawstrings.
  • Flat Sheet The Flat Sheet is a rectangle 5' x 10', and does not have a drawstring. Use it to protect row crops, other in-ground plantings, small shrubs, trellises, small trees, and more.
