36 Sliding Screen Door – A screen door is a great way to not only let some fresh air and sun to your home, but also to keep insects and other pests out in the exact same moment. By using a screen door, you have the ability to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you just need to let a bit of atmosphere in. Although you can purchase display doors for your home, they are actually fairly simple to make, requiring only a few tools and supplies, using simple construction techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or could be more elaborate, based on your needs and construction abilities.

Supplies You Will Need, you’ll need some thin wood inventory to use for your display door construction, a hardware frame for the doorway itself, and display meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. You will also need paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and one inch nails.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood inventory is usually used when constructing a screen door, normally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to prevent future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you need to build, and cut on the vertical and horizontal pieces to fit. While building the doorway, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a table. To produce the corner joins, as well as when adding the center horizontal support piece, you will need to take off half the depth of a single piece of timber at the place where they will match a saw, so the overall finished thickness of the joint will be equivalent to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support pieces together, then clamp and allow to dry thoroughly. Once the glue joints are completely dry, you can sand the doorway, and apply a stain and clean finish, or paint the door if needed.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the doorway flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of display material to the appropriate dimensions, leaving several inches around the edges to make setup easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the top of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the base of the doorway. Be sure that you pull on the display tightly in the horizontal directions too, keeping in mind that display will elongate over time. The display can be soldered right to the doorway, as the staples will be covered by molding which will be set around the edge of the display. After the display has been stapled securely into place, trim the display and cover the edges with all the display molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the doorway itself has been assembled, it is possible to set up the door frame , 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.
