7 Christmas Mesh Wreath Styles That Survive Open Porch Wind

Listicle · 6 min read · Updated October 2026

A mesh wreath weighs much less than a full pine one, and that is why it can fly off an open porch in a gust. These 7 Christmas mesh wreath styles cover red, gold, silver, plaid, rustic and teal, and each one comes with a note on how to keep it on the door.

Mesh is open and light, so wind goes through it more than it pushes it, but the wire frame still acts like a sail. Every style below gets one fix for that, and the last section shows how to hang the wreath so it stays put.

1. Red Poofed Mesh With Ruffled Loops

A full red wreath is the classic mesh look. The mesh is pulled into loose poofs around a wire frame, so the wreath looks round and thick from the street without any ornaments at all.

Poofed mesh holds more air than flat mesh, so it needs more tie points on the frame. Fasten the wreath to its hanger in two places, not one, and it will not swing loose when the wind turns.

2. Gold Glitter Mesh With Matching Ornaments

Gold looks best against a dark door. A navy or black door lets the glitter show, while the same wreath on a light door can look washed out.

Small gold ornaments wired onto the frame add weight, which helps the wreath stay put. Use wire, not glue, because glue lets go in cold weather.

3. White and Silver Frosted Mesh

White and silver mesh suits a gray, blue or black door, and it gives a winter look without any red. The pale mesh shows dirt, so keep it under a porch roof if you can.

A ready-made wreath saves the work of building one. The two below are mesh wreaths from Amazon with ribbon and a sign or snowflake, and each is a style from this list.

The silver wreath comes with a snowman sign, so remove the sign if you want a plain frosted look.

4. Green Mesh With a Buffalo Plaid Bow

Green mesh with a red and black plaid bow looks like a classic pine wreath from the street, and it holds up far better in the rain. It is the style to pick if you like the old look but not the mess.

A big bow catches the wind more than anything else on the wreath. Use wired ribbon, shape the loops short, and tie the bow to the frame in the center so it cannot spin.

5. Mesh With Pine Picks, Berries and Cones

Pine picks, red berries and a few cones tucked into the mesh make a wreath look natural without the weight of real greenery. The picks poke through the mesh and lock it in, which also stops the loops from flattening.

Push each pick through two or three loops of mesh, then bend the stem back. That keeps the picks from sliding out when the wreath moves.

The picks set has few reviews so far, which is worth knowing before you order. Fifty pieces is also far more than one wreath needs, so keep the rest for the tree.

6. Teal and Silver Metallic Mesh

Teal is the style for people who do not want red or green. It looks best on a white or cream door, where the metallic mesh reflects the light.

Foil mesh has a shine that shows well at dusk, so it works on a door with little porch light. Rolls in several colors are sold for building your own, and the box below has red, gold and teal.

One roll is not enough for a full wreath if you pull the mesh into poofs, so buy a second roll of the same color.

7. Burlap and Green Mesh for a Rustic Door

Burlap and green mesh together look farmhouse, and the burlap gives the wreath a matte look that glitter styles do not have. It suits stone, brick and wood doors best.

Burlap soaks up rain and gets heavy, so hang this one under a porch roof. In an open spot, it sags and looks tired by the middle of December.

How to Hang a Mesh Wreath So It Stays Put

Most mesh wreaths come off the door because the hook is the only thing holding them. Tie the wreath to the hanger with two or three zip ties, then trim the tails so they do not show. Black ties vanish into a dark frame, and you can cut them off in January without damage.

For a wreath that has lost shape, floral wire pulls the loops back into place from behind. Check the wreath size against your door first, since our guide to wreath sizes for a front door shows what fits.

Check the thickness of your door against the hanger before you order, since the hook has to clear the top edge. A wreath that hangs flat to the door catches less wind than one that swings out.

Our take · George Anderson

If I had to choose one, I would take the green mesh with the plaid bow. It reads as a traditional wreath, takes rain without fuss, and the bow is easy to tie down. Skip the burlap one unless you have a porch roof, and tie every wreath on with zip ties whatever the style.

Quick Answers on Christmas Mesh Wreaths

Two short answers on keeping a mesh wreath outside for the season.

Can a mesh wreath stay outside all season?

Yes, as long as it is mesh, not paper or cardboard parts. Rain dries from open mesh fast, but burlap and paper ribbon do not, so keep those under a porch roof.

How do I stop a mesh wreath from blowing off the door?

Tie it to the hanger with zip ties in two or three places. A hook alone lets it swing and lift off in a gust.
