Aluminium Frame Fly Screen Sliding Door With Aluminium Tuff Mesh with regard to dimensions 900 X 1600Sliding Doors Screen – A screen door is a great way to not only allow some fresh air and sunshine into your house, but also to keep insects and other pests outside at the same moment. By using a screen door, you also have the capacity to keep your house enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, either when the weather is warm or anytime you only want to allow just a bit of atmosphere in. Even though you can purchase screen doors for your house, they are actually fairly simple to make, requiring only a few tools and supplies, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be either very simple in design, or can be more elaborate, based on your wants and building abilities.
Supplies You Will Need, you’ll need some thin wood stock to use for the screen door construction, a hardware frame for the door itself, and screen meshing, together with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools such as a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, staple gun and clamps will be necessary.
Pick a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to construct, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While building the door, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a table. To produce the corner combines, as well as when adding the centre horizontal reinforcement piece, you’ll want to take off half the thickness of one piece of timber where they will intersect with a saw, so the general finished thickness of the joint will be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support pieces together, and then clamp and allow to dry completely. When the glue joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and employ a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if needed.
Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the door flat on the work table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of screen material to the proper dimensions, leaving a few inches around the edges to make setup simpler, which is trimmed later. Lay the screen over the top of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it closely towards the base of the door. Make sure that you pull on the screen tightly in the horizontal directions as well, keeping in mind that screen will stretch over time. The screen can be stapled directly to the door, as the principles will be covered by molding that will be set around the border of the screen. After the screen has been stapled firmly into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with all the screen molding.
Finishing the Job, when the door itself has been assembled, it is possible to set up the door frame itself, and then attach the new screen door to the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the frame with spring hinges so the door will close mechanically.
