Fly Screen Doors – A screen door is a superb way to not only allow some fresh air and sun into your home, but also to keep insects and other pests outside at the same moment. By employing a screen door, you have the capacity to maintain your home enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you just want to allow just a little bit of fresh air in. Although you can purchase display doors for your home, they are in fact fairly simple to make, requiring only a few supplies and tools, using simple construction methods. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or could be elaborate, depending upon your wants and construction skills.

Supplies You Will Need, You will need some thin wood stock to use for your display door construction, a hardware frame for the door 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, staple gun and clamps will be necessary.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is generally utilized when constructing a screen door, generally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the door you need to build, and cut the horizontal and vertical pieces to fit. While constructing the door, it can help clamp the door pieces to a work table. To make the corner joins, in addition to when adding the centre horizontal support piece, you will need to take off half the depth of one piece of timber at the place where they will match a saw, so that the overall 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 service pieces together, then clamp and allow to dry completely.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the door flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of display material to the appropriate dimensions, leaving a few 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 peak of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the base of the door. Be certain that you pull the display tightly from the flat directions as well, keeping in mind that display will stretch over time. The display can be soldered right to the door, as the staples will be dealt with by molding that will be placed around the border of the display. After the display was stapled firmly into place, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.

Finishing the Job, when the door itself was assembled, you can install the door frame , and attach the new screen door to the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the frame using spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
