MeshGuard Screening System
MeshGuard from Screen Tight is a revolutionary guardrail infill screening system.
For guardrail infill code requirements, most building codes require the 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 obstructed view to the outdoors. MeshGuard from Screen Tight enables an open, picket-free design and is approved by building codes across America.
