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.
MeshGuard can be used in 6-ft x 3-ft openings below the porch handrail to create an unobstructed view to the outdoors.
Use MeshGuard below the rail and Screen Tight above. The systems use the same trim cap to create a cohesive finished appearance.
Exterior designers and architects literally have a blank canvas for new architectural details below the rail.
MeshGuard has been confirmed by the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) to meet code requirements for guardrail infill.
MeshGuard from Screen Tight is a guardrail infill screening system that replaces pickets with a continuous, code-approved mesh panel. It supports spans up to 6′ × 3′, delivers an unobstructed view, and integrates with the original Screen Tight cap that is available in multiple colors.

MeshGuard replaces the need for pickets (or balusters) with a continuous, code-certified mesh that provides an unobstructed view. Its reinforced polyester screen resists tearing far better than traditional materials, and its design delivers both strength and elegance.
