Whether you’re a market grower or a home gardener, these useful frost blankets can help protect your crops from damaging frost. Unlike bedsheets, heavy-weight fabrics, and other covers- frost blankets are designed to protect plants without the risk of damage as they dry quickly and allow proper airflow.
Frost Blanket Weights
Bootstrap Farmer carries frost blankets in several weights. They are available in 1.5 oz, 2.5 oz, and 4.0 oz.
Fabric Weight (oz.) | Transparency (%) | Est. Temp Above Outside (°F) |
1.5 | 85 | 4-6 |
2.5 | 30 | 10 |
4.0 | 20 | 15 |
*These temperature estimates are based on daytime temperatures above freezing. Individual results will vary based on growing zone and location.
We recommend the 4.0 oz frost blanket for extra protection before a frost. It can be used with a 2.5 oz blanket for layered protection. The additional weight of this blanket provides approximately 4-8+ more protection than the 2.5 oz blanket.
The frost blanket can last up to three years when properly taken care of and stored. Make sure the blanket is dry, and store it away from direct sunlight.

How long can this frost blanket last before it starts degrading from the elements of sun, wind and rain? I am looking for an approximate time-frame.
The frost blanket will last a number of seasons if it is secured well during use and stored properly. It should be completely dry and kept folded out of direct sunlight when not in use
What is the difference in heat retaining capability between the 2.5oz & 4oz frost blanket?
2.5 ounce is between 4° and 6° and 4 ounce is 6°-8°
Of course that’s all going to be affected by soil saturation, wind, ambient air temperature, cloudy days etc.
It looks good, but I have not had the need to use it yet.
Bootstrap’s frost blankets are super robust and look like they’ll stand up to years of hard use. Like everything from Bootstrap, the best quality, very good prices, and the very best customer service. Please keep it up!
Great blankets. I can tuck my plants in before a cold night. I have doubled and even tripled layers for better frost protection.
Quality frost cloth arrived in great condition and shipped quickly
Kept my frost tolerant plants alive in 10 degree weather.
