Standard Sliding Screen Door – A screen door is a great way to not just let some fresh air and sunshine to your house, but also to keep insects and other pests out in precisely the same time. By using a screen door, you also have the ability to maintain your house enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is warm or anytime you just need to let a little bit of fresh air in. Although you can purchase display doors for your house, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few tools and supplies, using simple building techniques. Display doors can be very simple in design, or can be elaborate, based on your wants and building abilities.

Supplies you’ll need, You will need some thin wood stock to use for the display door construction, a hardware frame for the door itself, and display meshing, together with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding. You will also need paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and one inch nails. Some basic tools like a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, staple gun and knobs will be needed.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is usually utilized when constructing a screen door, normally in a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to build, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While constructing the door, it can help clamp the door pieces to a work table. To produce the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal support piece, you will want to take off half the depth of one piece of timber where they will intersect with a saw, so that the general finished thickness of this joint will be equivalent to that of a single piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber service pieces together, then clamp and allow to dry thoroughly.

Adding the Display to the Door, Putting the door flat on the work table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of display material into the proper size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation easier, which will be trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the base of the door. Make certain that you pull on the display tightly from the flat directions too, 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 this display. After the display was stapled firmly into position, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the door itself was built, you can set up the door frame itself, and attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the frame using spring hinges so that the door will close mechanically.
