By using a screen door, you also have the capacity to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is warm 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 in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few tools and supplies, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or could be elaborate, based upon your wants and building skills.
Supplies you’ll need, You will need some thin wood inventory to use for the display door structure, a hardware frame for the doorway itself, and display meshing, along with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. You’ll also need paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and 1 inch nails. Some basic tools like a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, basic gun and clamps will be necessary.
Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood inventory is usually used when constructing a screen door, normally in a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried wood to prevent future wood shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you want to build, and cut the vertical and horizontal pieces to match. While constructing the doorway, it can help to clamp the door bits to a table. To make the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal support piece, you’ll want to take off half the thickness of a single piece of wood at the place where they will match a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of the joint will probably be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the wood support bits together, then clamp and allow to dry completely.
Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the doorway flat on the work 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 will be trimmed later. Lay the display over the top of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the base of the doorway. Make sure to pull the display tightly in the horizontal directions as well, keeping in mind that display will stretch over time. The display can be soldered right to the doorway, as the staples will be dealt with by molding that will be placed around the edge of the display. After the display was stapled securely into position, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.
Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself was assembled, it is possible to set up the door frame , and then attach the new screen door to the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the frame with spring hinges so that the door will close automatically.
