Introduction to DeckBarrier™

 

DeckBarrier™ is designed to help protect the vulnerable space beneath low-clearance decks from wind-driven embers, pine needles, leaves, nesting materials, rodents, birds, and other debris that can accumulate beneath the structure. Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant woven metal mesh, DeckBarrier™ creates a protective perimeter around decks located close to the ground while allowing natural airflow and drainage beneath the deck.

"A Practical Perimeter Defense" 
The space beneath a raised deck can become a collection point for combustible materials. During a wildfire, wind-driven embers may enter this area and ignite accumulated debris directly beneath the deck and near the exterior walls of the home. DeckBarrier™ aligns with the IBHS "Wildfire Prepared Home Program" because it helps reduce this vulnerability by creating a durable screened perimeter that limits ember and debris entry without fully enclosing the space or restricting necessary ventilation and drainage.
