A grow bag on the patio
You want a 150 cm film house and extra pegs. The white VOUNOT house is about £23.49, with 4.4 from 145 reviews, 135 g/m² polyethylene and a stated 2.7 kg. Wind reviews still say the stakes in the box are light.
Tomato plant cover comparison for UK buyers
The best tomato plant covers, compared.
Top pick: FAKOFIS pop-up mesh covers, 2 pack Best value: DIVCHI tomato growhouse – About £15.47, the lowest-priced 150 cm film house in this set, with 4.1 from 223 reviews, the largest count here. Updated October 2026.
A tomato plant cover on amazon.co.uk is a film shell on a frame, or a mesh bag or cage. Mesh is for birds and adds little warmth. The RHS says a ventilated cloche can reduce blight by reducing that rain, and that a closed humid cover encourages grey mould. A cover of 45 cm, 50 cm or 110 cm does not fit a mature cordon, which puts at about 1.5–2 m. A 100 × 50 × 150 cm house is the grow-bag shape. Wind, and pegs that are too light, is the failure buyers repeat. The order of checks is in the [tomato plant cover buying guide](/hub/plant-accessories/tomato-plant-cover/sub/tomato-plant-cover-buying-guide). Heavier fleece is credited with about 2°C on the RHS fleece page.

Which tomato plant cover fits the job?
Question 1 of 2
What do you need the cover to do?
The best tomato plant covers in detail
Our view
The FAKOFIS pack is two pop-up mesh cages at £11.92, with six ground stakes claimed and a top zipper claimed. The title says 32 × 52 cm and the spec table says 32 × 32 cm, and neither line gives a height you can plan around. The star line is 5.0 from two ratings, and the extract has no review text behind those stars. The cover is mesh on a steel wire, so rain reaches the leaves. It is ranked under Baby Products on amazon.co.uk, which does not tell you how it behaves over a tomato. You should not treat the 5.0 as evidence that the size conflict is harmless.
Pros
- Two cages and six stakes are claimed
- Pop-up steel wire, with no tools claimed
- A bullet mentions tomatoes
- Shelf price £11.92
Cons
- 5.0 from two ratings and no review text
- The title and the spec disagree on size
- Mesh does not shed rain
- Ranked under Baby Products on amazon.co.uk
Best for: A small plant only if you need mesh and you can measure the cage when it arrives
Less suitable: Rain protection, or anyone choosing from the star line alone

Common questions
Which size is right?
The title says 32 × 52 cm. The spec table says 32 × 32 cm and does not give a height. Both figures are on the listing.
Does it keep rain off tomatoes?
It is mesh with a steel wire. The listing does not call it waterproof.
Our view
The CSGHMM pack is two polyethylene mesh bags listed at 100 × 150 cm, with a drawstring, at £7.89, the lowest shelf price in this set. The star line is 4.7 from nine reviews, and only four of those have written text in the extract. Those texts mention pots, patio cherries and blueberries, not a full tomato crop, even though the bullets name tomato plants. The mesh is breathable, so it is not a warm or dry cover. One buyer found the bags large for seedling pots. At 160 g for the pair they are light to store, and they do not keep rain off the foliage.
Pros
- Lowest shelf price in this set, £7.89
- Listed size 100 × 150 cm
- Drawstring close
- 160 g for the pair
Cons
- Only four review texts behind nine ratings
- Not a warm or dry cover
- The written reviews do not describe a tomato crop
- Large for seedling pots, in one review
Best for: A large fruiting plant you want netted, after you have checked the 100 × 150 cm size
Less suitable: Seedling pots, or a tomato you need to keep dry

Common questions
Do buyers use these on tomatoes?
The bullets name tomato plants. The four UK review texts mention pots, patio cherries and blueberries, not a tomato crop.
Do they block rain?
They are breathable PE mesh. The listing does not say they are waterproof.
Our view
The Mystery Code pack is four HDPE mesh bags, 100 × 80 cm in the title, at £8.99, with a zip and a drawstring. The star line is 4.6 from 13 reviews. UK reviews use them on tomatoes and blueberries as a bird and insect barrier, and the zip is there so you can pick without taking the bag off. The bullets say the mesh allows natural irrigation, which means rain reaches the leaves. Buyers call the zips fiddly. The listing weight of 78 g for four bags is very light. One review describes a 150 × 120 cm version, and that size is not this title, so do not order this pack for that larger measurement.
Pros
- Four covers at £8.99
- A zip for picking, mentioned in the reviews
- Used on tomatoes in UK reviews
- A drawstring to cinch the bag
Cons
- Mesh does not shed rain and adds little warmth
- Buyers call the zips fiddly
- One review may describe another size
- 78 g for four bags is very light
Best for: Birds or insects on fruiting plants, including tomatoes, when a rain cover is not the job
Less suitable: A cold spring or wet leaves, where you need film rather than mesh

Common questions
Will these bags keep rain off tomato leaves?
No. The bullets say the mesh allows natural irrigation. They are a bird and insect barrier in the reviews, including on tomatoes and blueberries.
Is every review about the 100 × 80 cm size?
The title and model say 100 × 80 cm. One review describes a 150 × 120 cm version. Do not treat that as this pack's size.
Our view
This unbranded pop-up is a green polyethylene mesh cage at £10.99, on elastic steel wire, listed at 350 g. The title says 90 × 40 × 35 cm and the spec table says 30 × 30 cm. A bullet calls it a 2 pack while the unit count says 1, so the listing does not settle what is in the box. The star line is 4.5 from four reviews. Three short UK reviews do not describe breakage, and one buyer had not used it yet. The mesh is breathable, so rain is not kept off the leaves. You cannot know the size, or how many cages will arrive, from the listing alone.
Pros
- Pop-up frame, with no tools claimed
- The bullets name tomatoes and seedlings
- Three short UK reviews do not describe breakage
- Listed weight 350 g
Cons
- The title and the spec disagree on size
- The pack count conflicts between a 2 pack and a unit count of 1
- Mesh does not shed rain
- One buyer had not used it yet
Best for: Only if you can check the size on arrival and you want mesh rather than film
Less suitable: A cordon you need to keep dry, or a buyer who needs the size settled before ordering

Common questions
How many cages are in the box?
A bullet says this 2 pack. Unit count and number of packs both say 1. The listing does not settle it.
Which dimensions apply?
The title says 90 × 40 × 35 cm. The spec table says 30 × 30 cm. Both are printed.
Is it a rain cover for tomatoes?
It is PE netting on a wire frame. The bullets name tomatoes. The mesh is described as breathable, so rain is not kept off the leaves.
Our view
The green VOUNOT house lists the same 100 × 50 × 150 cm, the same 135 g/m² polyethylene and the same 2.7 kg as the white one, at £24.99 in this extract. The model number differs and the cover colour is green. The star line is 4.4 from 146 reviews, but the written comments in the extract match the white file, so this is not a second test. Wind and light pegs are the same complaint, and you should count that theme once across both colours. You pay about £1.50 more here for the green cover. Choose it when the colour is the point, and do not add the two review counts together.
Pros
- Same stated size, cover weight and frame weight as the white house
- Green cover if that is what you want on the patio
- Ropes, stakes and ties are claimed
- 4.4 from 146 reviews on this listing
Cons
- About £1.50 more than the white house for the same stated spec
- The written reviews are the same sample as the white listing
- The same wind complaints apply
- It is not a separate test of the cover
Best for: The same grow bag as the white house, when you specifically want the green cover
Less suitable: Anyone counting 145 and 146 reviews as two independent tests

Common questions
How is the green house different from the white one?
The listing colour is green, the model number differs, and the extract price is £24.99 rather than £23.49. Dimensions, weight and 135 g/m² claim match.
Can the reviews be added to the white house's reviews?
No. The extract repeats the same review text. Use the themes once.
Our view
The white VOUNOT house is a 100 × 50 × 150 cm polyethylene cover at £23.49, with 135 g/m² stated, a metal frame listed at 2.7 kg, and a roll-up door. The box list names four ropes, ground stakes and nylon ties. Across 145 reviews at 4.4 stars, buyers fit about three plants, which is a grow bag rather than a single cane. The same review text appears on the green listing, so you should read those comments once. Wind reviews still say the stakes in the box are light, and some buyers add something sturdier, such as fence posts. One review says the instruction sheet got the pole sizes wrong. The stated weight is the figure that matches a frame you can assemble.
Pros
- 135 g/m² polyethylene and a 2.7 kg weight are stated
- Roll-up door, four ropes, stakes and ties in the bullets
- 4.4 from 145 reviews
- Buyers fit about three plants
Cons
- Wind reviews include houses that blew away
- Instruction pole sizes were wrong in one review
- The review text is duplicated on the green listing
- £23.49 is the upper end of this set
Best for: A grow bag when you want a 150 cm film house with a stated cover weight and anchors named in the box
Less suitable: A tight budget, or an exposed site if you will not add stakes beyond the ropes supplied

The review text in this extract matches the green VOUNOT file. The star counts are 145 and 146. Treat the comments as one sample.
Our view
The GardenSkill cloche is a 50 × 50 × 50 cm pop-up PVC cube at £13.48, with pegs and a storage bag in the bullets, and it weighs 550 g. Across 105 reviews at 4.4 stars, buyers use it over trays and for cool spring nights. One UK review says it was too small for that buyer's tomato plant, which follows from a 50 cm height against a cordon trained towards 1.5–2 m. Rain can sit on the flat top, and a top vent is not in the spec table. The spring frame also opens as it leaves the bag, so you need a clear patch of ground before you let go. It is a short cover for the start of the season, not a house a cordon can finish in.
Pros
- Pegs and a storage bag are listed
- Pop-up frame at 550 g
- 4.4 from 105 reviews
- Used for trays and spring nights in UK reviews
Cons
- 50 cm is too short for a grown cordon
- The spring frame opens as it leaves the bag
- Rain can sit on the top
- No top vent in the spec table
Best for: Seed trays and a young plant for cool spring nights
Less suitable: A mature cordon tomato, or a site where water pooling on the roof is a problem

Common questions

Does rain run off?
One UK review says rain puddles on top and that a vent is needed. A top vent is not in the spec table.
Our view
The DNNPCFE cover is a 115 × 55 × 45 cm tunnel at £19.99, listed as polyester, with a roll-up zip claimed and a weight of 640 g. The star line is 4.2 from 13 reviews, and only six of those have written text in the extract. A UK review grew cauliflowers under it and then took the tunnel off so the plants could mature, which matches a 45 cm height. One review says it was so light it blew away, and pegs are not listed. The listing does not state that the polyester is waterproof, so you cannot treat it as a rain shell for tomato leaves. At this price it is a low raised-bed cover, not a tomato house.
Pros
- Low tunnel footprint of 115 × 55 cm
- A roll-up zip is claimed
- 640 g, light enough to move
- Foldable, with no tools claimed
Cons
- 45 cm is not a house for a cordon tomato
- Waterproofing is not stated
- Pegs are not listed, and one review says it blew away
- Only six review texts behind 13 ratings
Best for: Seedlings or a low crop in a raised bed
Less suitable: A cordon tomato, or an open site where you have no extra stakes

One UK review says it was so light it blew away. Pegs are not listed.
Our view
Across 223 amazon.co.uk reviews, the DIVCHI house is a 100 × 50 × 150 cm film cover with a roll-up zip door, listed at £15.47. Buyers put two plants in it, and some fit three, which suits one grow bag rather than a row of cordons. The door is the practical part, because you can reach in to water without lifting the whole shell. The listed weight of 200 g does not match a metal frame you assemble, so treat that figure as a listing error. Wind reviews say the fixing supplied is not enough, and you should plan extra stakes on an open patio. One review says the roof sags in rain and then holds water, even though the roof is sloped. Individual buyers also report a failed zip or failed cover ties.
Pros
- 100 × 50 × 150 cm with a roll-up zip door
- 4.1 from 223 reviews, the largest count in this set
- Buyers report two plants, and some report three
- Shelf price £15.47 in the extract
Cons
- Listed weight of 200 g is not credible next to a metal frame
- Wind reviews say the supplied fixing is not enough
- The roof can sag and pool water
- A zip or cover ties failed in individual reviews
Best for: A grow bag on a patio when you want a 150 cm film house, a door, and a large review count at £15.47
Less suitable: An exposed site if you will only use the fixings named in the box, or anyone who needs a stated cover weight

Common questions

What did buyers say about rain on the roof?
One UK review says the roof sags in rain and then holds more water, even though the roof is sloped.
How many tomato plants do buyers put in it?
UK reviews mention two plants, and also three. The listing itself does not state a plant count.
Our view
The Haxnicks cloche, listed with Tierra Garden in the brand field, is about 50 × 110 cm of clear polypropylene at £20.99, with adjustable vents and ground pegs stated. Across 122 reviews at 4.1 stars, buyers use it on a young tomato and then find it neither wide nor tall enough once the plant is fully grown. The spec table lists one vent, and the bullets say the vents are adjustable. Several buyers say there is no watering hatch, so the cover comes off every time you water. Wind still moves it unless you peg it, and individual reviews mention missing pegs or a broken pole. At a listed 250 g it stores flat, and the limit is the 110 cm height.
Pros
- Adjustable vents are stated on the listing
- About 110 cm tall, taller than the 50 cm cube
- Pop-up plastic frame that folds flat
- Ground pegs are named in the box list
Cons
- A mature cordon outgrows about 110 cm
- Buyers say the cover comes off to water
- It needs pegs in wind, and some boxes arrived without them
- Broken poles appear in individual reviews
Best for: One young tomato or a chilli for the early weeks
Less suitable: A full-season cordon, or anyone who wants to water through a door

Common questions
Is 110 cm enough for a full-grown tomato?
UK reviews say it covers a young plant and is not wide or tall enough once the tomato is fully grown.
Can you water without lifting it?
One UK review says there is no access point, so the cover comes off for every watering.
Are the vents on the listing?
The spec table lists 1 vent and the bullets say adjustable vents. Buyers mention ventilation holes.
How we compared
Ten tomato plant covers on amazon.co.uk were scored from the listing facts in this set on 16 October 2026. The editorial score uses the star line, the review count, how well the cover fits a tomato, how clear the size and anchors are, and the price band in this set. Deductions apply when a listed weight conflicts with the frame, when there is no written review, when size or pack figures disagree, when waterproofing is not stated on a shaped cover, and when written reviews are duplicated from another colour. Price decides the best-value badge, not the score. There was no lab test. The two VOUNOT colours share review text and were not scored as two independent samples.
1
Fit for a tomato cover
28%A 150 cm film house with a door scores highest. A 110 cm tomato cloche with vents stated scores next. A 50 cm PVC cloche, a mesh bag at a usable size, a 45 cm tunnel, and a mesh cage whose size figures disagree score lower, in that order.

Tomato plant cover buying guide
Start with the plant you will actually grow, then with film or mesh. Height, a way to water, and anchors decide the rest. The notes below follow that order for these ten listings.
What is a tomato plant cover?
A tomato plant cover in this set is a film shell on a frame, or a mesh bag or cage. Film sheds rain. Mesh lets rain through and adds little warmth. The RHS says a ventilated cloche can reduce blight by reducing that rain, and that a closed humid cover encourages grey mould. Heavier fleece is credited with about 2°C on the RHS fleece page. Fleece jackets were not kept in this set, and none of these ten listings proves a temperature lift. Height comes first.
Best for
- A grow bag that needs a 150 cm film house and extra pegs
- One young tomato or a chilli for the early weeks
- Birds or insects, when you do not need the leaves kept dry
Not ideal for
- A finished cordon under a 45 cm, 50 cm or 110 cm cover
- Anyone reading a 5.0 from two ratings as a test
- A buyer who will add the two VOUNOT review counts together
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying on the word tomato
Measure the plant. A 45 cm tunnel, a 50 cm cube and a 110 cm cloche do not finish a cordon trained to about 1.5–2 m. A 100 × 50 × 150 cm house is the grow-bag shape.
- 2
Trusting the pegs in the box
Reviews on DIVCHI, VOUNOT, Haxnicks and the low tunnel mention blowing over or needing extra stakes. Plan stakes on an open patio. Shutting the film on a hot day is the other repeat mistake.
- 3
Reading a thin star line as a test
A 5.0 from two ratings, with no review text, is not evidence. The two VOUNOT colours repeat the same review text. Count that sample once. FAKOFIS and the unbranded cage also disagree with themselves on size.
What to weigh up
Height, film or mesh, and a way in
HighMatch the cover to the plant. Cordon tomatoes are trained to about 1.5–2 m, so 45 cm, 50 cm and 110 cm covers are for the early weeks. The grow-bag footprint in this set is 100 × 50 × 150 cm, on DIVCHI and both VOUNOT colours. Film sheds rain, which is the blight mechanism the RHS describes. Mesh lets rain through. The RHS gives heavier fleece about 2°C, and these listings do not prove a lift of their own. A door or zip you can water through matters on film.
Anchors, review volume, and what the listing does not prove
HighWind is the failure buyers repeat. DIVCHI does not name pegs. VOUNOT names four ropes, stakes and ties, and reviews still call the stakes light. Haxnicks names pegs, and some boxes arrived without them. The low tunnel does not list pegs, and one review says it blew away. Prefer a large amazon.co.uk review count over a 5.0 from two ratings. DIVCHI has 4.1 from 223 reviews. The white VOUNOT has 4.4 from 145, and the green file repeats that text at 146. Do not add those counts.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
One young plant or a chilli
You want the early weeks, not a finished cordon. The Haxnicks cloche is about 50 × 110 cm at about £20.99, with vents and pegs stated, and 4.1 from 122 reviews. Buyers outgrow the height, and several say the cover comes off to water.
Birds, not a cold spring
You want mesh, and you should not expect a warmer or drier season. The Mystery Code pack is four 100 × 80 cm bags at about £8.99, with 4.6 from 13 reviews. UK reviews use them on tomatoes as a bird and insect barrier. Rain still reaches the leaves.
Common questions about tomato plant covers
Which tomato plant cover is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the white VOUNOT tomato grow house at about £23.49. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 145 reviews for a 100 × 50 × 150 cm film house with 135 g/m² polyethylene, a stated weight of 2.7 kg, a roll-up door, and ropes and stakes in the box. Stored reviews still say those stakes are light in wind. The same review text appears on the green listing, so those comments are one sample. The score uses those listing facts. It is not a lab test.
How much do tomato plant covers cost on amazon.co.uk?
On these ten shelves, checked on 16 October 2026, mesh bags are about £7.89 and about £8.99. The small cages are about £10.99 and about £11.92. The 50 cm GardenSkill cloche is about £13.48. The DIVCHI 150 cm house is about £15.47. The 45 cm tunnel is about £19.99 and the Haxnicks cloche is about £20.99. The white VOUNOT house is about £23.49 and the green one is about £24.99. Treat those figures as that date, not a live price.
Does a tomato plant cover stop blight?
No listing here proves that a cover stops blight. The RHS says a ventilated cloche can reduce blight by reducing rain on the leaves, and that a closed humid cover encourages grey mould. Late blight is Phytophthora infestans, the same organism as potato blight, and spores move on the wind. Humidity under a closed cover makes it worse if spores get in. Do not compost infected material. A stronger blight claim on the Haxnicks page is the maker's wording.
Is a 50 cm or 110 cm cloche tall enough for a cordon tomato?
Gardeners' World puts a cordon at about 1.5–2 m. The GardenSkill cube is 50 × 50 × 50 cm, and one UK review says it was too small for that buyer's tomato. The Haxnicks cloche is about 50 × 110 cm. UK reviews say it covers a young plant and is not wide or tall enough once the tomato is fully grown. Several buyers say the cover comes off for every watering. A 100 × 50 × 150 cm house is the grow-bag shape in this set.
Should you add the white and green VOUNOT review counts?
No. The white listing shows 4.4 from 145 reviews and the green listing shows 4.4 from 146. The written comments in the extract match. Dimensions, the 135 g/m² claim and the 2.7 kg weight match, and the green house is about £1.50 more in this extract. Use the wind and light-peg themes once. Choose the green cover when the colour is the point, and do not treat the two files as two tests.
Will mesh bags keep rain off tomato leaves?
No. Mystery Code and CSGHMM are mesh, and the Mystery Code bullets say the mesh allows natural irrigation. UK reviews use those bags on tomatoes and blueberries as a bird and insect barrier. The CSGHMM written reviews mention pots, patio cherries and blueberries, not a full tomato crop. Mesh adds little warmth. The RHS credits heavier fleece with about 2°C, and fleece jackets were not kept in this set. These listings do not prove a temperature lift.
When can you put tomatoes out under a cover in the UK?
The Met Office says air frost still occurs in May, earlier in the south and on coasts, and later further north and on higher ground. The RHS says tomatoes do better when nights stay above 10°C, and to plant once temperatures are reliably above 16°C, after two to three weeks of hardening off. A cover does not replace that forecast. If the container is the question, a tomato pot is a separate comparison from the cover.
Our verdict
In this set of ten amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is the white VOUNOT tomato grow house at about £23.49. It shows 4.4 from 145 reviews, a 100 × 50 × 150 cm film house, 135 g/m² polyethylene, a stated weight of 2.7 kg, a roll-up door, and ropes and stakes in the box. Stored reviews still say the stakes are light, and the same review text appears on the green listing. The best value is the DIVCHI house at about £15.47, with 4.1 from 223 reviews, the largest count here, and a roll-up zip door of the same size. The listed weight of 200 g is not credible next to a metal frame. Mesh bags do not keep rain off the leaves. A 50 cm or 110 cm cloche does not finish a cordon.
