Folding Screen Doors – A screen door is a superb way to not just let some fresh air and sun to your home, but also to keep insects and other pests out in the same time. By using a screen door, you have the ability to maintain your home enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is hot or anytime you just need to let a bit of fresh air in. Although you can purchase display doors for your home, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few tools and supplies, using simple construction techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or could be more elaborate, depending upon your wants and construction skills.

Supplies You Will Need, You will need some thin wood stock to use for the display door construction, a hardware framework for the doorway itself, and display meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools such as a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, basic gun and knobs will be necessary.

Pick a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you need to construct, and cut the vertical and horizontal pieces to fit. While building the doorway, it can help clamp the door bits to a table. To produce the corner joins, in addition to when adding the center horizontal support piece, you will need to take off half of the depth of one piece of timber at the place where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of this joint will probably be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber service bits together, then clamp and let it dry thoroughly. Once the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the doorway, and employ a stain and clean finish, or paint the door if desired.

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 into the proper size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make setup easier, which will be trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the framework, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the doorway. Make certain that you pull the display tightly in the flat directions too, keeping in mind that display will stretch over time. The display can be soldered right to the doorway, as the staples will be covered by molding that will be set around the edge of this display. After the display has been stapled firmly into place, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the doorway itself has been assembled, you can set up the door frame itself, and then attach the new screen door into the framework. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the framework using spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
