Flexible Screen Door – A screen door is a superb way to not only let some fresh air and sun into your home, but also to keep insects and other pests out in the same time. By using a screen door, you also have the capacity to keep your home enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, possibly when the weather is hot or anytime you just need to let just a bit of atmosphere in. Although you can buy display doors for your home, they are in fact fairly straightforward to make, requiring only a few supplies and tools, using simple building methods. Display doors can be either very simple in layout, or can be more elaborate, based upon your needs and building skills.

Supplies you’ll need, you’ll need some thin wood stock to use for your display door construction, a hardware framework for the door itself, and display meshing, together with a 1/4 inch from 3/4 inch screen molding.

Designing and Cutting the Door, Thinner wood stock is generally used when constructing a screen door, normally at a five-eighths thickness. Choose a well-dried wood to prevent future wood shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to build, and cut on the vertical and horizontal pieces to fit. While building the door, it can help to clamp the door bits to a work table. To produce the corner combines, in addition to when adding the centre horizontal support piece, you’ll want to take off half the depth of one piece of wood where they will intersect with a saw, so that the overall finished thickness of this joint will be equal to that of one piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the wood service bits together, then clamp and let it dry thoroughly. When the glue joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and apply a stain and clear finish, or paint the door if needed.

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 proper dimensions, leaving several inches around the edges to make setup simpler, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the top of the framework, pulling it tightly towards the bottom of the door. Be certain that you pull on the display tightly in the flat directions too, keeping in mind that display tends to elongate over time. The display can be stapled directly to the door, as the principles will be dealt with by molding that will be set around the border of this 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 door itself was built, it is possible to set up the door frame , and then attach the new screen door into the framework. Attach a door handle and fasten the door into the framework using spring hinges so that the door will close mechanically.
