MESHGUARD
- Description
- Why this system
- Specs
For guardrail infill code requirements, most building codesrequire vertical posts that support the handrail to be installed no more than 4 inches apart. This limits porch railing design options and results in an obstructions view of the outdoors. MeshGuard enables an open, picket-free design and is approved by building codes across America.
Wide-open view to the Outdoors
MeshGuard can be used in 6-ft x 3-ft openings below the porch handrail to create an unobstructed view to the outdoors.
Design Freedom for architectural details
Designers and architects have been severely limited by guardrail building codes. MeshGuard literally creates a blank canvas for new achitectural details below the rail.
Premium hardware
MeshGuard is made of high density vinyl, steel and a special polyester screen to deliver unrivaled strength.
Seamless integration with Original Screen Tight
Use MeshGuard below the rail and Original Screen Tight above. The systems use the same trip cap to create a cohesive finished appearance.

How does MeshGuard integrate with Screen Tight?
MeshGuard and Screen Tight both use the same finishing trim cap. The final step for both systems is to snap on the Screen Tight trim cap which creates an integrated, seamless look.
Can MeshGuard be used with other screening systems?
MeshGuard works with the original Screen Tight system by using the same trim cap for a seamless finished appearance. However, you can use MeshGuard as a "standalone" system below the rail with another system above.
MeshGuard is a system of components — not just the screen — and usage of all the components is required. MeshGuard mounts to wood structures so the free-standing posts created with Fast Track or Screen Wall are not compatible.
Is the MeshGuard base the same as Screen Tight?
No, MeshGuard uses a different base and accepts a proprietary flat spline specifically designed for the base.
Can I mount MeshGuard on the inside of my porch instead of the outside?
Absolutely, Screen Tight and MeshGuard can both mount facing the interior of your porch. This is a good approach if you have a second-story porch and you’re unable to safely screen from the outside.
How do I calculate how many clips I need for my project?
You will need 8 clips per 8 foot channel or, if you are creating a post or rail, you will need two clips on each end.
