Aluminum Screen Door – A screen door is a great way to not only allow some fresh air and sunshine into your house, but also to keep insects and other pests out at precisely the exact same moment. By using a screen door, you have the ability to maintain your house enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you only want to allow just a little bit of fresh air in. Even though you can purchase screen doors for your house, they are actually fairly simple to make, requiring only a few tools and supplies, using simple construction techniques. Screen doors can be either very simple in design, or can be elaborate, based upon your wants and construction skills.

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

Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to construct, and cut on the vertical and horizontal pieces to fit. While constructing the door, it can help clamp the door bits to a table. To produce the corner combines, as well as when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will want to take off half of the depth of one piece of timber where they will match a saw, so 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 bits together, and then clamp and let it dry completely. When the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and employ a stain and clean finish, or paint the door if desired.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Laying the door flat on the job table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of screen material into the proper dimensions, leaving a few inches around the edges to make installation easier, which is trimmed later. Lay the screen over the top of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Be sure that you pull on the screen tightly from the flat directions too, keeping in mind that screen tends to elongate over time. The screen can be soldered right to the door, as the principles will be covered by molding that will be set around the edge of the screen. After the screen has been stapled securely into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with the screen molding.

Finishing the Job, when the door itself has been assembled, it is possible to set up the door frame itself, and also attach the new screen door into the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the frame with spring hinges so the door will shut mechanically.
