By using a screen door, you have the ability to keep your home enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is hot or anytime you just want to let a bit of fresh air in. Although you can purchase screen doors for your home, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few supplies and tools, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in design, or can be elaborate, based on your needs and building skills.
Supplies You Will Need, You will require some thin wood inventory to use for the screen door structure, a hardware framework for the door itself, and screen meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools like a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, staple gun and clamps will be needed.
Pick a well-dried wood to avoid future wood shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to build, and cut on the vertical and horizontal pieces to match. While constructing the door, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a work table. To make the corner joins, as well as when adding the center horizontal support piece, you’ll want to take off half of the thickness of one piece of wood where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of the joint will 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 allow to dry completely. When the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and employ a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if needed.
Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the door flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of screen material to the appropriate size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation easier, which will be trimmed later. Lay the screen over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the framework, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Be sure to pull on the screen tightly in the flat directions too, 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 border of the screen. After the screen has been stapled securely into place, trim the screen and cover the edges with all the screen molding.
Finishing the Job, Once the door itself has been built, it is possible to install the door frame itself, and attach the new screen door to the framework. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the framework using spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
