By employing a screen door, you have the capacity to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is hot or anytime you only want to allow just a bit of atmosphere in. Although you can purchase screen doors for your home, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring only a few tools and supplies, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or can be elaborate, depending on your wants and building abilities.
Supplies you’ll need, You will need some thin wood inventory to use for the screen door construction, a hardware framework for the doorway itself, and screen meshing, together with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding. 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 used 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 doorway you want to construct, and cut the vertical and horizontal pieces to match. While building the doorway, it can help clamp the door bits to a table. To produce the corner combines, in addition to when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you’ll want to take off half of the thickness of one piece of timber at the place where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of this joint will be equal to that of a single piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber service bits together, then clamp and let it dry completely. When the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the doorway, and apply a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if desired.
Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the doorway 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 setup easier, which will be trimmed later. Lay the screen over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the framework, pulling it closely towards the base of the doorway. Be sure to pull the screen tightly in the horizontal directions as well, keeping in mind that screen will elongate over time. The screen can be soldered right to the doorway, as the staples will be covered by molding which will be placed around the border of this screen. After the screen has been stapled firmly into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with the screen molding.
Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself has been assembled, you can install the door frame itself, and attach the new screen door to the framework. Attach a door handle and fasten the door to the framework using spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
