Would this work as "hail' protection for flower/vegtable gardens?

I don't think so. I used it for fencing around a school garden. It tears very easily and I need to find something else to use. I can't imagine using this for anything!

Probably not a good idea. I imagine if it's wet, it's raining, or how are you going to use it? This product is designed to work with direct sunlight. So if it's just getting sprinkled wet occasionally that's probably not a problem, but a deluge of water? No.

I use this same item but it's under my carport. I don't think I would want to subject it to heavy rain such as we have here in south Louisiana. Fabricate some sort of rain shield.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

it should. It keeps the birds and my puppy out of the garden. However when it rains it doesn't work as well. You need to keep the power source out of the direct weather.

I do both. I will spray around my gardens as a general deterrent and then spray directly on plants. Be careful - it will "stain" some plants - like pansies. But does work. Try the granular type too - that works a little longer - especially if you have any rain.

I think it can, but I would put some kind of cover over it to protect against rain. Could be as simple as a bucket.

Yes this should work for you. This is an awesome product that provides for a range of hole size and also keeps the umbrella from movement.

If you pitch it low to the ground and keep the peak angle low, it should work well. Though it will be close quarters, this should keep even a sideways rain off you... for the most part.

That is a good question. The material is a dense foam, with a cut in the middle, really only good for 1 plant. I would bet that it has a good chance, with a large seed, like a tomato. It's kinda like a Rapid Rooter, if you know them. The puck is 1" thick, so if the seed is 1/4" down, the root only has to go 1/2" till it hits spray. For transplant to a hydro system it should be mint. Now that you made me think about it, and I own one, I am going to try it right now, with some freebies. Peace

Absolutely. I used it to cover my van windows in the desert and it worked great. One caveat -- I installed this outside, covering the windows and it is VERY reflective. Your neighbors might not be pleased.

The cover actually covers the table and chairs and is very thick so I believe it would definitely cover it from hail. This is a great cover and very sturdy plus it velcros onto the legs for additional support from the wind. Hope this helps. Thank you.

I have purchased this windscreen to prevent invasive neighbors, but I have not have enough experience yet to determine weeds. I believe this fabric is capable of preventing weeds/vines because it just may be a tight enough weave.

I have not had occasion to try that, actually. You could try it around a shrub that you wouldn't mind too much if it were damaged and see. It's excellent for neutralizing odor so I imagine if you tried when no rain was expected it might work.

I use it around hosta and other bushes. I used it near my impatients, but I did not appy Preen directly over the flowers or any flowers, so I don't know what to say about your concern.

I have used them for frost protection, and they have worked well. Except last year was an exceptionally heavy frost and they did not save the plants. Since i live in Southern California, that was probably a mild frost by MA standards!

I don't think it will handle the wind in a hail storm or hail larger than a dime size. the sides hook into one another and can be snapped off and apart if the wind is really hard.
