Sliding Door Fly Screen – A screen door is a great way to not just let some fresh air and sun into your house, but also to keep insects and other pests outside at the same moment. By employing a screen door, you have the ability to keep your house enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, either when the weather is warm or anytime you only want to let a bit of fresh air in. Although you can purchase display doors for your house, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring just a few tools and supplies, using simple construction techniques. Display doors can be either very simple in layout, or can be more elaborate, depending on your wants and construction skills.

Supplies You Will Need, You will require some thin wood inventory to use for your display door structure, a hardware frame for the door itself, and display meshing, together with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood inventory is usually utilized when constructing a screen door, normally in a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried timber to prevent future timber shrinkage, discoloration or warping. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to construct, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While building the door, it can help clamp the door pieces to a table. To make the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will want to take off half of the thickness of one piece of timber at the place where they will match a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of the joint will be equivalent to that of one 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. When the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and employ a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if desired.

Adding the Display to the Door, Putting the door flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of display material into the appropriate size, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Make certain to pull on the display tightly from the flat directions as well, keeping in mind that display tends to elongate over time. The display can be soldered right to the door, as the staples will be covered by molding that will be placed around the edge of the display. After the display was stapled securely into place, trim the display and cover the edges with the display molding.

Finishing the Job, when the door itself was built, it is possible to set up the door frame itself, and then 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 automatically.
