Hanging Screen Door Curtain
|Hanging Screen Door Curtain – A screen door is a great way to not just let some fresh air and sun to your home, but also to keep insects and other pests out at the same moment. By employing a screen door, you have the ability to maintain your home enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you only need to let a little bit of fresh air in. Although you can buy display doors for your home, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple building methods. Screen doors can be either very simple in layout, or can be elaborate, depending on your needs and building skills.
Supplies You Will Need, you’ll require some thin wood inventory to use for the display door structure, a hardware frame for the door itself, and display meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. You will also require paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and 1 inch nails. Some basic tools such as a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, basic gun and knobs will be needed.
Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood inventory is usually utilized when building a screen door, generally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. 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 to clamp the door pieces to a work table. To make the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will need to take off half the thickness 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 a single piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support pieces together, and then clamp and let it dry thoroughly. Once the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and apply a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if desired.
Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the door flat on the job table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of display material into the appropriate size, 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 top of the frame, pulling it closely towards the bottom 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 stapled directly to the door, as the staples will be dealt with by molding that will be set around the border of the display. After the display has been stapled firmly into position, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.
Finishing the Job, when the door itself has been built, it is possible to set up the door frame , and also attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the frame with spring hinges so the door will close mechanically.
