By employing a screen door, you have the ability to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is warm or anytime you just need to allow a bit of fresh air in. Although you can buy screen doors for your home, they are actually fairly simple to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple construction methods. Display doors can be very simple in design, or could be more elaborate, based upon your wants and construction abilities.
Supplies You Will Need, you’ll require some thin wood stock to use for your screen door structure, a hardware frame for the doorway itself, and screen meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. You’ll also require paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and 1 inch nails. Some basic tools like a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, basic gun and clamps will be necessary.
Choose a well-dried wood to avoid future wood shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you want to build, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to fit. While building the doorway, it can help clamp the door pieces to a work table. To produce the corner combines, as well as when adding the centre horizontal support piece, you’ll want to take off half the thickness of a single piece of wood where they will intersect with a saw, so the general finished thickness of the joint will probably be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the wood service pieces together, then clamp and let it dry completely.
Adding the Display to the Door, Putting the doorway flat on the work table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of screen material into the appropriate size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the screen over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it closely towards the base of the doorway. Be sure to pull on the screen tightly in the horizontal directions too, keeping in mind that screen will elongate over time. The screen can be soldered right to the doorway, as the staples will be covered by molding which will be placed around the border of the screen. After the screen was stapled securely into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with the screen molding.
Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself was assembled, you can set up the door frame , and also then attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and fasten the door into the frame with spring hinges so the door will shut mechanically.
