What is the weight and fabric used for making this item? Does it work well in zones 4 and 5?

The fabric is very light.What ever it is made of it came out of the washing machine looking like new.I am in zone 8. The fabric can be doubled or tripled up for better protection.I hope I helped.

I'm in zone 5 and it works well for me. It's a non woven fabric that is translucent. Let's light in but not completely see through. I don't know the exact weight. But it works well to keep frost off, it doesn't keep things from freezing when the temperature is more than a few degrees below freezing though. Hope this helps

I agree with all the comments that already have been made. It is valuable for protection and I would buy again for my garden.

Hi, great question. Yes, I only use it for items up to 5 pounds and it works great.

Oh this is not light weight. We use it for fall/winter/spring but I change it out for summer. Had luck at Home Goods for the lighter weight one.

I haven't weight it but it keeps the chairs on the ground when it's windy, i like this set a lot, fabric is easy to clean and dries fast. Chairs are easy to move but are still grounded. Hope this answers your question.

It wasn't 11.20 per yard when I purchased it. It was about either 8.98 or 9.98. I'dhave to look. But the most expensive fabric I got had veggies on it...wasnt worth it...this fabric was worth it...Beautiful!

I am in zone 5 so I really can't say. But mine is doing fine indoors. From my experience is living in both Florida and Texas I would say this will be fine in your area

Hi Rick, Thanks for checking in... Our fabric is 4 way stretch. I searched for the reviews you mentioned after reading your email and I was disappointed to see. If you buy from us (HecksOne) you will get 4 way stretch fabric. Thanks again!

It is not a heavy quilt but not what I would call light weight, it is closer to medium weight. Now I'm comparing them to the weight of antique quilts not the new ones, and it is made better than those at say WalMart.

I am not exactly sure of the weight but it can't be more than 4-5 lbs. It is of very good quality.

I don't have it handy but I would say around a pound. It is very light weight and compact. If you are looking for something to keep you warm in 50 degree weather this is too thin. If you are looking for something that will be good for backpacking and used in reasonably nice climates, this is definitely a good purchase. I have taken mine all over. I would say the warmth is about equivalen to a slightly thicker flannel sheet. I did my research before buying and this was the best option in terms of space. If you don't care about warmth, the only thing I have used that is smaller is the silk sleeping sacks...but also expensive. I think you will be happy with this item.

This material is lightweight and breathable. It is suited more for one season of use. Seems like a cross between cloth & paper Tears or cuts easily. I use it because air can circulate & light can penetrate through it. It helps keep sparrows out & gives potection from cold here in mild zone 9b.winters. Reminds me of the fabric used in fabric softener sheets.A good product for my purpose because it doesn't weigh the plants down.

It sits on the grass and here in Louisiana we get about 50 inches of rain a year but the paint that is on the item seems to be a good thick coat. It is easy to move for mowing under it, two people can pick it up or one person can drag it around. My husband and I agree that this will last as long as a good quality metal swing set, maybe longer, and it seems the kids are getting lots of use out of it.

They list the weight in just over 5 and half a pounds, but you get a lot of extra pegs and some pre-attched guy lines that I've removed. I bet you could get it down to 5 pounds or just a little less, and this tent is mighty rugged and sturdy for its weight.

Mine was a 3/4 weight but handles a 5 wt line nicely. A 4wt line would work nice also.

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

its very light weight. Not sure what fabric exterior is but im pretty sure it wont take a beating. I love it but wouldnt recommend for small kids who might be rough
