Vertical Retractable Screen Door – 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 outside at the same time. By using a screen door, you have the ability to keep your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is warm or anytime you only need to let just a bit of atmosphere in. Even though 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 techniques. Screen doors can be either very simple in layout, or can be more elaborate, based upon your wants and construction abilities.

Supplies You Will Need, you’ll require some thin wood inventory to use for your screen door structure, a hardware framework for the doorway itself, and screen meshing, together with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools such as a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, staple gun and knobs will be necessary.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood inventory is generally used when building a screen door, normally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried wood to prevent future wood shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you want to construct, and cut the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While constructing the doorway, it can help clamp the door bits to a work table. To produce the corner combines, in addition to when adding the centre horizontal support piece, you will want to take off half of the depth of a single piece of wood where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of this joint will be equivalent to that of a single piece of wood. Utilize a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the wood support bits together, and then clamp and allow to dry thoroughly.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the doorway flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of screen material into the appropriate size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make setup simpler, 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 closely towards the base of the doorway. Be sure that you pull the screen tightly in the horizontal directions too, keeping in mind that screen tends to stretch over time. The screen can be soldered right to the doorway, as the principles will be covered by molding which will be placed around the border of this screen. After the screen has been stapled firmly into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with all the screen molding.

Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself has been built, it is possible to set up the door frame , and attach the new screen door into the framework. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the framework with spring hinges so that the door will close automatically.
