Abstract: A weather protection device for the protection of moisture or sunlight sensitive specialized cultures of plant cultivation is proposed, with at least a largely watertight protective skin that is attached to a carrier unit, which safely ensures an effective protection, especially of plants from weather influences, even over longer periods of time at comparably low effort, and which is economically inexpensive to produce, especially for very large-scale applications, such as for areas of several acres of size: This is achieved according to the invention in that the protective skin is attached at least partially pivoting on the carrier unit for swiveling out by means of wind force from an idle position, and that at least one of a net, meshwork, and screen is provided, on which the protective skin rests.

Abstract: A weather protection device for the protection of moisture or sunlight sensitive specialized cultures (4) of plant cultivation is recommended, with at least a largely watertight protective skin (2, 3) that is attached to a carrier unit (1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12), which safely ensures an effective protection, especially of plants (4) from weather influences, even over longer periods of time at comparably low effort, and which is economically inexpensive to produce, especially for very large-scale applications, such as for areas of several acres of size: This is achieved according to the invention in that the protective skin (2, 3) is attached at least partially pivoting on the carrier unit (1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) for swiveling out by means of wind force from an idle position, and that at least a net (9), meshwork, and/or screen is provided, on which the protective skin (2, 3) rests.
