The Wildfire Defense Mesh 98 deck-skirting roll is documented as noncombustible, corrosion-resistant 304 stainless-steel mesh.

Bushfire Mitigation Solutions describes the retrofit component as deck skirting for enclosing decks and subfloor spaces. Its openings measure 0.0657 inch, with a wire diameter of 0.0177 inch. These specifications identify the material, dimensions, and intended assembly role.

Those features do not establish that the exact product has a wildfire listing or that every installation will comply with applicable requirements. Meeting the stated IBHS requirement also depends on the deck’s height, enclosure around the full perimeter, termination at grade, storage beneath the deck, and conditions within the surrounding five-foot zone. The manufacturer’s vent-test statements are limited by test orientation and do not make this skirting roll a listed vent assembly. For a homeowner choosing it, the supported use is as mesh for deck enclosure, while approval of the finished installation remains a separate question.
