By employing a screen door, you also have the capacity to maintain your home enclosed, while allowing a breeze, either when the weather is warm or anytime you just want to let just a bit of fresh air in. Even though you can buy screen doors for your home, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring only a few supplies and tools, using simple construction techniques. Display doors can be either very simple in design, or can be elaborate, based upon your wants and construction abilities.
Supplies You Will Need, you’ll require some thin wood stock to use for the screen door construction, a hardware framework for the doorway itself, and screen meshing, along with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding. Some basic tools such as a tape measure, hamper, knife, chisel, basic gun and clamps will be needed.
Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is generally used when constructing a screen door, generally at a five-eighths thickness. Pick a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the doorway you want to construct, and cut the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While constructing the doorway, it can help to clamp the door pieces to a table. To make the corner combines, in addition to when adding the center horizontal reinforcement piece, you will want to take off half the depth of one piece of timber at the place where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of the joint will be equal to that of a single 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.
Adding the Display to the Door, Putting the doorway flat on the work table, measure the overall opening and cut a piece of screen material into the proper size, leaving several inches around the edges to make setup easier, which is 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. Make sure that you pull the screen tightly from the flat directions as well, keeping in mind that screen will stretch over time. The screen can be stapled directly to the doorway, as the principles will be dealt with by molding that will be placed around the edge of the screen. After the screen was stapled firmly into position, trim the screen and cover the edges with all the screen molding.
Finishing the Job, when the doorway itself was built, you can set up the door frame itself, and also attach the new screen door into the framework. Attach a door handle and secure the door into the framework with spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
