Can You Convert a Deck Into a Screened-In Porch?

Yes. If your deck is 2 ½ feet or more above the ground, you will need to install a guardrail. MeshGuard allows you to install a guardrail that is made of screen eliminating the need for pickets and allowing for a less obscured view. If you wish to enclose your deck, you can use Screen Tight above the MeshGuard system. The two systems are similar in design and integrate seamlessly.

Can a Balcony Be Enclosed?

Yes. Enclosing a balcony can allow you to enjoy the outdoors without pestering bugs. To enclose your balcony, use MeshGuard which can be installed as a guardrail infill system replacing the pickets. Screen Tight can be installed above to screen in your balcony. These systems integrate seamlessly together and attach to the balcony frame structure.
