Window And Door Screens – A screen door is a great way to not just allow some fresh air and sunshine to your house, but also to keep insects and other pests out at precisely the exact same moment. By using a screen door, you also have the capacity to keep your house enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you just want to allow a bit of atmosphere in. Even though you can purchase screen doors for your house, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be either very simple in layout, or can be elaborate, based on your needs and building abilities.

Supplies You Will Need, You will require some thin wood stock to use for your screen door construction, a hardware framework for the door itself, and screen meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding.

Pick a well-dried timber to prevent future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the door you need to construct, and cut the vertical and horizontal pieces to fit. While constructing the door, it can help clamp the door bits to a work table. To produce the corner combines, in addition to when adding the center horizontal support piece, you will need to take off half the depth of a single piece of timber where they will intersect with a saw, so the general finished thickness of the joint will be equal to that of one piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support bits together, then clamp and let it dry completely.

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 into the proper size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make setup easier, which will be trimmed later. Lay the screen over the top of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the framework, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Make certain that you pull the screen tightly from the flat directions as well, keeping in mind that screen will elongate over time. The screen can be stapled directly to the door, as the staples will be dealt with by molding which will be placed around the edge of the screen. After the screen has been stapled securely into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with all the screen molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the door itself has been assembled, it is possible to set up the door frame , and then attach the new screen door into the framework. Attach a door handle and fasten the door into the framework with spring hinges so the door will close mechanically.
